I've just started my monk,
So I have not found anything on the best way to set up hot keys, any advice?
Thanks
New Monk Question, hot keys

Ideally you should have your party members set up to hot keys, but I find that on my laptop keyboard I simply don't have the room. I'd like to put them on 1-8, but I obviously use those for skills. I can't use q-i because I use those for their default uses (movement, targetting, inventory.) Same thing with F1-F8, but I may start using those if I can, and remove the previous uses for them.
For now I just keep my mouse on the party window and click

I use 1-8 for party members and clicky with my mouse :P Also, I have skills right next to my party if I ever need to choose with my mouse. They're set up in a 4 over 4 formation.

I've been thinking, I use the numerical pad a lot, so I am pretty familar with it. I could easily set them for party 1-8 with the zero as a quick healing like orison.
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3
0
first guy would be 7,so the strokes would be
7 target him 0 activate orison

I've tried 1-8 as Team Members and F1 - F4 for my main skills, and the last 4 skills I just clicked. It worked, but I still prefer clicking the targets in the party screen, since I don't do any extremly serious PvP in the first place, I don't need the ultimate hot keys, since the best aren't the ones I enjoy playing with the most.
So in my opinion. Play how you prefer playing, and play with the way that's best for you when you're in serious GvG/HoH matches

I use the number pad for party members to but I find it better to just click on them useing the mouse.

Skills 1-4 on their respective numbers
Skill 5 on Q
Skill 6 on E
Skill 7 on V
Skill 8 on R
Q and E keep me from having to reach over and are typically used for my energy management skills for quick access. V is typically Divine Boon and R is whatever I slot there be it a res or CoP.
Move with WASD and use mouse to select party members.

Just click the party window and use skill hotkeys instead. I find it much easier to react to a spike if you're clicking the thing that's showing you who needs healing instead of fumbling with 8 seperate keys. And for self heals, just hit the 'target closest enemy' button. How do people that use target hotkeys heal ghostly hero etc.?
