Keybinding and You!

One thing many people have trouble with is the Ability Tray's lag. We've all seen it. You know, when you click an ability, but nothing happens. Welcome to STO. You're not alone and it's frustrating for everyone.

The best way to minimize the effects of this lag and your own lag - the time it takes to move your mouse to the button or reach for your 30+ hotkeys on your keyboard (Crtl+alt+2, for example) - is to use a Keybind. Now, many of us can make our own. But, even for those that can, why muddle through it and figure it out? Why take the extra time? This Solution is simple: FES Star Trek Online Keybind Application.

The basic idea is that you select a tray, or more than one tray,  out of your 10 ability trays. (See the arrows in the upper left corner of your hot trays to cycle between them.) On that tray, or trays, you'll put all the abilities you want to cycle through when you hit, let's say, the space bar. What if you could hit space bar repeatedly and not only fire your weapons, but cycle through Attack Pattern Omega, Emergency Power to Weapons, Aux 2 Bat, Fire at Will, etc? Put a copy of them all on that tray, in order from left to right that you want them to activate. It's simple and easy. Just create the keybind through this program, follow the instructions, and test it out outside ESD or New Romulus or wherever. If the abilities activate when you hit the selected key, you're all set.
