‘How to …’ Series (Copying Key-Binds From Toon To Toon)

Copying Key Binds

If you have multiple characters and wish to copy key binds from one to another or wish to backup your key binds, you can use the following method.

This method requires typing slash commands into the chat window. It also requires saving and loading ground and space key binds seperately.

Saving Key Bind sets

When in the location whose bindings you wish to save, hit the ENTER key or click in the chat text box.

Type the following:

/bind_save_file DefaultGround.txt or /bind_save_file DefaultSpace.txt depending on the location.

Hit ENTER.

This saves file(s) in your STO directory with your character’s current key bindings.

Loading Key Bind sets

The files you created in the save prodecure can be used to restore key binds to an existing character or apply them to a new one.
When in the location whose bindings you wish to load, hit the ENTER key or click in the chat text box.

Type the following:

/bind_load_file DefaultGround.txt or /bind_load_file DefaultSpace.txt depending on the location.

Hit ENTER.

Notes

These procedures can be used for all characters created, you can also exchange these files with other players to try out their key binds. You can change the names of the text files in the load and save commands and you can include a drive and path if you don’t want them directly in your STO folder.

Using the DefaultGround.txt and DefaultSpace.txt names will assign these key binds to all new characters created.
