Here's how I monk it up when I'm using keyboard only
Movement:
Classic WASD movement along with the QE strafe keys.
Party Targeting:
Numpad. Though the numpad is numbered from bottom to top ascending, I number my party from top to bottom descending.
So, where the keypad would have these numbers on it:
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
My party is set to the same keys as so:
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 6 |
I use both Num3 and Num6 for party member 6 because sometimes my finger slips to 3 accidentally when I'm trying to quickly hit 6 for an infuse.
My index/middle/ring fingers hover over keys 4-6 so I can either reach up to select party members 1-3, or reach down to select party members 7 and 8. I put 7 and 8 on the bottom because it's a lil harder to to scrunch my fingers downward to select those keys than it is to reach up. As an infuser I'm usually party member 8, so that leaves only party member 7 as someone slightly difficult to infuse. Which leads me to skills
Skills:
Skills 1-4 are on keyboard numbers 1-4, and are my least used spells.
Skills 5-8 are on my right hand near the numpad. 5-6 are the arrow keys:LEFT, DOWN, and RIGHT, and I use my right thumb for all of those. Skill 8 is the enter key on the numpad, and is where I put infuse. I can always keep my pinky finger on the Enter key no matter what other button i'm trying to press, so this way all I have to worry about is hitting the right party member then I slap an infuse with my pinky finger.
For vent and TS or w/e, if you use push to talk, I use the UP arrow key for push to talk because it's the only place I could think to put it and it's convenient. You could put it on spacebar, but I use spacebar a lot when I'm on other characters, and changing the options settings each time I infuse is troublesome.
For cancelling skills I have the ~ key set to cancel action, the Esc key is too far away to quickly hit in the nick-of-time sometimes when someone casts a Diversion on you midcast. I only ever have two weapon sets active when I monk it up, my main weapon and my -energy weapon set. So with only two weapons, you can just use the toggle weapon key instead of just selecting a specific one. I have both F1 and F2 set to toggle weapons, which makes it twice as easy to toggle. Hit it once, you switch to your -energy weapon, hit the same key again and you're back to your original weapons,
The Mouse
The mouse is still needed in GW no matter what, you need it to select the Ghostly Hero and also to un-maintain enchants like Holy Veil, as well as a few other things. So I try and keep my mouse cursor hover over the ghostly hero's healthbar, or over the spot where a holy veil would show up if I cast it.
Teh screenshots
Btw here's how I have my screen UIs set up. I have pretty much everything clumped up in one spot so I can see it all at once when monking.
Teh End
With this setup I can have a good two hand keyboard set up that won't interfere with when I play other types of characters. I actually made up an uber leet monking keyboard set a while back, but it's impracticle and troublesome if you're playing anything BUT a two-hand keyboard monk. I made a few changes after I made this pic I'll post, but here it is anyway. BTW I would in no way recommend this speficic setup unless you're a crazy monker addict, but it can give you some ideas on different creative ways to use the keys around you.
PS: Dun know if this thread is still kickin. I tried to post earlier but Comcast goes out on me every once in a while because it's trash like that...
