Is it possible to bind hero skills to the keyboard?

If thats possible can I bind them to the same key?

Example:
press and release key once:
first hero's first skill activates
press and release again:
second hero's first skill activates
press and release again:
third hero's first skill activates

rinse and repeat

Probably not. Not as in your example. It might be possible so that all three heroes activate their respective skills when you hit X, but i'm not sure either.

You can create a macro that will allow you to do that, but I'm not really sure how to do it. You would need to create a loop of some sort that counts the number of times the button was pressed and then have a certain action take place depending on which number the counter is on.

I have used HotKey to run two copies at once and send commands to the 2nd account while playing the first. You might check that out.

How do you bind hero's skills to keys?

Could you please explain to me where/how I bind them to the keyboard.

And wouldn't it be illegal to have all 3 hero skills go off at once? Thats why I wanted the tap-tap-tap option.

From what I have read it is not against the EULA to creat a macro that activates the three skills because it is still you pushing the buttons. It's not like you have created a bot that can run without you being there.

In the controls section under the options menu you can assign the hero's skills to keys, but you can only assign one key per skill (as I am sure you're already aware). Google HotKey and read about the program. It will allow you to create a macro that can activate the necessary buttons. For example, you can set up HotKey to press "1", "2", and "3" when you press "0" or any other combination of keys.

To make sure you don't break the terms of the EULA, you want to avoid creating strings where pressing one button will activate a series of skills.

It's in the options with all the other keybinding stuff.

In the good old days before Vista I used a Thrustmaster tac board and you could bind sequences of keys using a macro.
I got so lazy I did this for my password to enter GW.

Given a similar macro keyboard you could set the macro to press one or more keys with a preset time between each key press.

I am pretty sure any of the gaming keyboards could do this.

Going even further back in time Microsoft had a board that added voice commands.
I used to show off to my friends by having all the controls of a flight sim activated by voice.

To select Hot Keys for your hero's skills go to Options/Controls as shown on this wiki page
