What keybinds for mounts?

[Milkshake.4370]

Hey everyone,

What are your keybinds you are using for mounts?

I am using the following ones and am curious to see if there are better alternatives;

 

CAPSLOCK = Skyscale

, = Raptor

. = Springer

L = Skimmer

; = Jackal

' = Roller Beetle

x = any mount selected

 

I like that I can reach all of them with my thumb (except for Capslock).

What are yours?

 

[Randulf.7614]

X raptor

Ctl c skimmer

Ctl v jackal

rest are the extra mouse buttons I have

[KrHome.1920]

CTRL + 12345678

 

CTRL + Space for Mount/Dismount aka. the selected standard mount (which is Warclaw for WvW)

[Jukhy.2431]

Left Shift = Mount key (I use Skyscale here)

F1 = Griffon

F2 = Raptor

F3 = Springer

F4 = Jackal

F5 = Skimmer

F6 = Beetle

 

Sidenote: 1,2,3,4,Q,E,R,C,X,Z + alt combos of these keys I use for combat skills cause I want them to be close to the movement keys (AWSD).

[spectrito.8513]

ctrl + ' = bettle

ctrl 1-5 other mounts

\ = warclaw

[Hesione.9412]

shift-R raptor

shift-B springer (it's a bunny)

shift-W jackal (it looks like a wolf)

shift-G griffon

shift-D skyscale (it is a dragon)

 

x is my rollerbeetle, as I set this to the default mount so I don't need another key combo

 

Only use the warclaw in WvW, so x in there.

[Armen.1483]

Shift+W to mount up.

Num lock 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 for mount select

interesting...I use F1,2,3,4 for my combat skills. i want to try this out

[Cragga the Eighty Third.60]

1-8 on the Numbers pad. (Zero is mapped for Mount Ability 2, I use keyboard movement controls and it's handy to hit with my pinky when drifting my beetle, and is also mapped as 'swim down' which is really intuitive considering similar mount ability actions.)

[SemtiaValon.8614]

I use my number pad.

0 griffon

1 raptor

2 bunny

3 skimmer

4 jackal

5 beetle

. Warclaw

(+) skyscale

[Donari.5237]

X Raptor (set to default)

Shift-S Springer

Shift-Z Zkimmer

Shift-D ~~Dog~~Jackal

Shift-A ~~Allmount~~Griffon

Shift-X Beetle (no mnemonic on this one, I was running out of keyboard real estate, maybe think of it as Racer X?)

Shift-C skysCale

 

Keeps everything near the keys I use the most, uses mnemonics to recall what does what, combo key means I am highly unlikely to mount/dismount in error (and since I can't mount in combat, I have the leisure time to find two keys to press at once, something that can physically hurt my hand when done rapidly under stress, which is also why I want all the keys near the Shift key, less strain!). Also if I want to swap mounts I can hold down Shift, press the key of the mount I'm swapping to (this dismounts me) and press it again a moment later to be on the new mount without having to move my fingers to other keys.

 

[Tukaram.8256]

n - raptor

b - bunny

h - skimmer (h for hover)

j - jackal (so rarely used I tend to forget the button)
