updated classic UI? And good hotkey config

[Raisen223]

Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked to death already but I'm just curious if there is an updated recreation of the classic EQ UI? The one where it has two blocks on the sides. Also it has been ages since I've played this game, so I don't have a feel for its key mappings. It seems to have archaic key mappings, can someone tell me what's a good way to map keys so I have all the hotkeys organised? Thank you

Pressing ALT+O will bring up the options menu and you can go into keybinds and see how they're currently set and change any and all of them to your preference.

As for the classic stone UI from launch, some people have tried to cobble together a working version in the past, but none have really stuck. And if you're playing on Green, you can't use anything but the velious UI

I'm playing on blue. Also, sorry if I was unclear with my questions but I meamt more what should I set my keybinds as on a modern keyboard? I'm playing on a laptop and it feels claustrophobic, I don't know how to neatly place everything ib easily accessible hotkeys like in modern mmorpgs. A little dumb I know, but there are too many important hotkeys to work with for me and I dont want to press anything by accident. Thanks again.

Stuff I personally changed that I can remember: I change movement to WASD. As a caster I have my spells on 1-8. I use B and N, reachable with my thumb, for certain hotbar buttons (basically my "clickies"). I change the default title thing (alt or ctrl+t) to just T for when I need to see behind me while running. I use G for the cycle last two targets, which is important for solo charming. I personally have duck on Z (for when you want to make sure a cast doesn't go off since it doesn't actually cancel spells on green unfortunately). Note that "target between two closest NPCs" doesn't work on Green sadly. I use M for the change camera view, which I hit 3 times then 3 times again when I'm done when I'm medding and need to pan the camera around to look out for dangers.

Ah, ok. My bad for misunderstanding the question.

Personally I went for a setup similar to how I play more modern MMOs. Movement with WASD (though I put my strafe on A/D and moved my turns to Q/E, even though I always mouse turn. Personally I have Tilde set as my auto attack. For spells, I cast from the spellbar, so ALT 1-8. I set bags to open with B, and Shift+B to close all of them.

I play on a laptop half the time, so I get the frustration. I do use a USB mouse attached though because using the trackpad to do things makes me crazy
