I am writing this post more or less as a note to myself, but maybe they will be useful to someone else, too. Here are the changes to the standard key bindings to make SWG playable (or least reasonably so).<\/p>\n
Mouse Pointer Mode Default — Checked
\nJump — CTRL-SPACE
\nPrimary Action — SPACE
\nPrimary Action and Attack — [unset]
\nSet Intended Target — X, MOUSEBUTTON1
\nSummon Radial Menu – MOUSEBUTTON2
\nToggle Auto Target — T
\nToggle Repeat Auto Attack — R<\/p>\n
Note 1: you have to hit R (in this setup) to attack with, because a normal attack will just stop after you attack once. Essentially, you have to turn on auto-attack every time you attack something. That means you can’t use the same key to “use” and “attack”. Yes, it’s idiotic, but that’s how it works.<\/p>\n
Note 2: you periodically have hit ALT because SWG has a borked user interface that changes “mouse modes”. Yes, there is a very good reason you don’t see this in any other game. It’s idiotic.<\/p>\n
Note 3: you periodically have to hit ESC or MOUSEBUTTON2, because SWG has a borked user interface that prevent you from selecting a new target if you examined something else. For example if you looked at a terminal screen ten minutes ago, you won’t be able to click on that Tusken Zealot who’s doing his level best to kill you. Infuriating, but I see no way around it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
