shift+backslash - opens/closes the majority of you GUI (windows)
shift+q - stops attacking current target and attacks other target you have selected
shift+r - replies to the last person that private messaged you
shift+1 to 0 - changes hotbar “page”
shift+r, alt+up arrow key - cycles through the people who have messaged you since logging in
shift+left click - brings up detailed information of what you click
0 on numpad - autorun
5 on numpad - centers camera
enter - begin typing
enter, tab - brings up chat channel options
enter, alt+up arrow key - cycles through the messages you have sent since logging in
hold right click + move mouse - changes direction your character is facing & angle of camera
F8 - Toggles between first person view and last used 3rd person camera mode
ctrl+F8 - Cycles between the different 3rd person camera modes
F9 - Current coordinates, time and suppression field information
shift+F9 - Detailed zone information
F10 - opens/closes game settings
F12 - Take screenshot (freezes screen for about 1 second)
Once you’re aware of all these shortcut keys, you pretty much no longer need the “wings” in the bottom left and right corners and removing them will give you some extra room on your screen.
Transparency (fade settings) or removing the “wings” can also be adjusted in F10 settings. If you wish to keep these wings I suggest changing the transparency setting (change to 100% to make clearer) so you can see your credits and NCU easier.
