Within the Ragnorok Online interface you can utilise shortcut keys (or Hot Keys) to help speed up game play and make simple tasks a little easyer and faster to complete. Shortcut keys, just like in wondows, are a combination key press of 2 or 3 keys at the same time. They dont nesecery need to be pressed AT the same moment, just held down at the same time.

Example.  Hold down “ALT” key and then press “a” will Open your status window. Repeated pressing of “a” will toggle the window On and Off

Opening and Assigning Shortcut keys Bar

Press F12 to Open the Key bar.  Reapeatedly pressing F12 will open upto 4 bars.  You will notice the top line has the F numbers next to them, this will be the F key you need to press for that button to activate.  You can then drag a skill like First aid into this box from the Skills window and you have assigned First aid to the F1 key, it should look like this:

Rows 2,3 and 4 can be used as just Hot Bars or assigned to a new Shortcut key (or Hot Keys) from the “Shortcut Settings” Window

Accessing the Shortcut Key Settings Window

To assign more short cuts to your Key Bar you will need to to press “Esc” to open the Game settings menu

Now click “Shortcut Configuration” and you will see this menu. Here you can Assign more Skills and Slash Commands to Hot Keys to further taylor your GUI. You will also find here the “Interface options” that further remind you about Ragnarok Slash Commands and Ragnarok Online Emotes.   These can then be atatched to shortcuts keys (or Hot Keys) and then dragged onto your Hot bar.

Not all Short cut keys (or Hot Keys) work on all versions of Ragnarok and some features requires a certain character level, feature or ability. Example, Alt + G will not work unless you are in a Guild.

Ragnarok Online has a great list of funny Emotes to express how your character is feeling.  They appear in a small speach bubble above your characters head and can be anything from Anger ( /an ) all the way to laughter ( /heh ) and even to play “Rock Paper Sissors”

Press the Alt + L keys to open the Emotion List window. You will find 3 pages, about 70 Emotes here. These can also be used and pinned via the Key Bar for quick access aswell as a Slash command

Press Alt + M keys brings up the Shortcut List with all the ALT short cuts.

Slash Commands in Ragnarok Online will help you navigate the GUI console much faster and easyer and can sometimes save you several clicks or key presses by combining commands into marcos. These console commands cover must options within the game and when used with the macro option can create some powerful function to help with your game play.

The command console can be accessed via the Ragnarok short cut keys “Alt + Enter” or “Ctrl + Enter”   The defualt mode for this chat box is local chat but can be used for the commands aswell. All command start with a slash  \  to tell the interface the following text is a command and not chat. This is where you type you command.

I like to have one of my widnows on the GUI as a “focus tab” and this is where i  enter my commands but also use for general chat aswell, this is why i call it “My focus Tab”.  You can click on/off the keyboard command window by clicking the very small icon that looks like a Keyboard. I always have this on.

Tip: use the “arrow up” to cycle through all the commands you have type in this session to save typing them again.

Tip 2: How to Whisper: Enter a Character’s Name on the left side of chat window and type your message on the right side. The Tab key helps you move between these boxes.

On the main window focus window it has some options. This will help create your own GUI style and you can move chat, guild, macros etc to the window of your choice.

• Keybaord   –   Opens and Closes the Keybaord command console
• Target   –   Opens options for the style of chat you wish to be dispalyed here
• Arrow Right   –   Pops out the current tab to a new window
• Plus   –   Create new tab
• Minus   –   Closes current tab
• Padlock   –   Locks current tab so cant be changed

Ragnarok slash commands combined with Ragnarok  short cut keys can really enhance your game play and make it easyer and more enjoyable to play. It is worth learning some of the ones you will need the most but have the following on hand while you play.

To speak to the party you are in Add % in front of every message. (Example: \%Hello)

To speak to the guild you are in Add $ in front of every message. (Example: \$Hello)

To speak to the clan you are in Add /cl in front of every message. (Example: /cl Hello)
