Notes

  • The client reserves some keys for the browser and chat; use one accepted by the picker.
  • Trigger: Press a key cannot reserve Escape, Enter, Tab or the F1 to F12 keys: they still belong to the player (closing windows, opening the chat, the browser).
  • While you type in the chat or any text field, Trigger: Press a key receives nothing: your keys go to the text.
