Attack with key press

[Silverwave]

I'm starting to develop Carpal tunnel syndrome because of using too much computer mouse (I do have a very good and confortable mouse) and I'm trying to relax my right hand. It would be nice to have the option to use key press to make attacks in the game. Naturally, my right hand rests on the keypad and using, say, 4, 5, 1, 2 to attack with characters would enable me to give a rest to my right hand a bit more. I don't think it's very difficult to implement. I guess it would require a "default" hand to use with those attack buttons. It would also be nice to be able to use spellcasting with those keys, like it activates the default hand, which if it's empty hands or wand, makes the spellcasting menu appear and then we could use 1-9 on keypad to select runes and then keypad enter to cast it.

Those key could be customised in the menu to support other key preference.

I'd love something like that, I'm playing on a laptop and the track pad makes for a rough time fighting folks. I gotta buy me a mouse.

This is what I was referring to a while back when I referenced the original Eye of the Beholder 3 and having a one click attack button for the melee characters. I was afraid this was going to be an issue with it being a click fest. I’m still hoping the Devs see the reasoning behind this and add an all Attack button. This button would only be for the Melee Characters.

Plain and simple the makers need to allow all actions to be assign to keys. Especially magic runes and cast, and fighting, and character selection.

thx d32, I'll see about using it as a work around but I would still prefer to have the option in-game.

I found an answer of petri about this on another post. Seems he's not all into the idea.

I didn't like "attack all". Just made the game too simplified (Not like EOB3 was even a good game in the first place...it wasn't made by Westwood), although I guess the option is still there for people who want it. But being able to attack with F1-F8 (2 weapon slots per player) would be a nice thing, though.
