The game basic hotkeys setting menu with no hotkeys set.

The game advanced hotkeys setting menu with no hotkeys set.

The hotkeys settings can be accessed by clicking on the little File:Settings icon.png gear icon in the most top left corner in the main menu. Here, the player can customize many hotkeys, or select one of the many pre-set hotkey templates. Almost every key on the keyboard can be bound to something, with a very few exceptions. The exceptions usually have a set purpose in the game and thus are unbindable.

Some commands are because they have no default bounded.

Several hotkeys have a set purpose, which cannot be changed. This results in them mostly being un-rebindable.

• The following keys are completely unbindable:

• can only bound together with other keys, as a combo key.
  • ^[1] is treated as the same key.
  • Although the modifier can be bound to another key, it is still unbindable. When the modifier gets rebound, has no use.

• (both left and right) or are unbindable, but they can be turned bindable in the Advanced Hotkey Settings. These keys keep their default function, which is opening the start menu on the desktop. This is true even when the keys get bound ingame.
• The ^[2] is fully bindable, but it also keeps its default function, which is to take screenshots.

• The following keys are bindable on their own, but cannot be combined with :

• All other standard keys are bindable.

Basic hotkeys are active while playing a match. The player can change the hotkeys at any time, even during a match. There are hotkeys for abilities, items, unit actions, shop actions, chat, interface and control groups.

In the Advanced Hotkey Settings, there are additional settings for unit actions, shop actions, interface and control groups, and the hotkeys for camera actions, saved camera positions and some hotkey setting options.

By default, the game uses the hotkey layout.

Legacy Keys can also be enabled by ticking the corresponding option in the Advanced Hotkeys Settings, rather than starting over with this template.

Activating a template unbinds all hotkeys used in it from their existing actions. Hotkeys can still be changed freely after selecting a template, except Legacy Keys’ item hotkeys.

Ability hotkeys section. Hotkeys apply to all units by default, but can be set to use different hotkeys for heroes, couriers and neutrals. Each hero can have its own unique hotkeys set.

The unit selection menu for ability hotkeys.

There are 6 ability slots which can be used. If one slot is empty and contains no ability, it is not visible in-game, and all abilities coming after it are moved together. For example, if a unit has an ability in slot 1 and 3, but no ability in slot 2, then the 2nd slot is not visible and the 3rd ability is moved next to the 1st ability, so that there is no gap. However, the slots are still bound according to the settings. Despite the 3rd slot being moved to remove the gap, its hotkey is still equal to whatever is set for the 3rd slot in the ability hotkey settings.

Heroes usually have 3 basic abilities in their first 3 slots, and their ultimate ability always in the 6 slot. This causes the ultimate ability to always use the set for the 6th slot, despite the ultimate visually appearing in the 4th slot. This is why the hotkey of the 4th ability on non-hero units is not equal to the hotkey of ultimate abilities. The non-hero unit has 4 abilities in its 4 slots and has the 5th and 6th slot empty, so they are not displayed. If its 4th ability would be moved to the 6th slot, it would make visually no difference, but change its hotkey to what is set in the 6th slot.

By default, the ability hotkeys apply to every unit the player controls. It is possible though, to bind different hotkeys to heroes, couriers and other units by turning ▣ Unit Specific Hotkeys on. It is also possible to bind unique hotkeys for each hero, however, this is not possible for other units. Clicking on after having given non-hero units, couriers or an individual hero unique settings, sets the hotkeys back to what the player set as default.

Regular Cast and Quickcast

To enable unique bindings for cast, quickcast and autocast, turn on ☐ Enable Advanced Quickcast/Autocast Hotkeys in the advanced hotkeys section

The player can choose between regular cast ( and then select target) and quickcast ( and automatically cast it where the cursor is).

Autocast is by default +. It is possible to choose between regular cast and quickcast for couriers, non-heroes and for each hero, just like how unique bindings are possible.

Advanced Quickcast/Autocast Hotkeys

The ☐ Enable Advanced Quickcast/Autocast Hotkeys settings can be turned on if the player wishes to use regular and quickcast, or wants to use different autocast hotkeys. This allows setting different hotkeys for regular, quickcast and autocast for each slot. This also works together with Unit Specific Hotkeys.

However, this setting is not compatible with Legacy Hotkeys. The player can only decide between regular and quickcast, and autocast is always +.

• Preset autocast hotkeys are all +.
• Only the League of Legends template has Quickcast activated, the others do not.
• Legacy Keys are different for each hero and unit. These keys can be found on the hero pages.
  • Ability hotkeys cannot be altered when using Legacy Keys.
