Autorun
Last wiki revision 2016-02-22
Autorun is a hotkey. It stands for 'automatic run', this reflects the nature of the command in so much as it cuases the character to run as if the forward key was being held down by the player.
By default the binding is set to Numlock on the Windows version and Clear (fn-6) on the Mac version.
It is not uncommon for players to rebind this key to something more convenient, such as Shift + W. Often, many skills will be bound to the surrounding keys (Alt and/or Shift ASD, QE, ZXC) in addition to the standard WASD or ↑←↓→ movement controls, meaning one has consolidated many of their keybinds to one hand allowing them to have a greater amounter of usage with less movement required
Due to the increase in usage of multi button mice it has become known for players to link commands such as this that are used frequently outside of ombat to one of the buttons on their mice.
