Hotkeys are keys or key-combinations for use within a match which, when typed, provide quick access to certain aspects of the game. Commands can be typed into the chat console either within a match, or in other PVP.net chat windows, though some (such as champion laughter, jokes, and dances) will only have the specified effect within a match.

Hotkeys[]

Note: The Hotkeys listed here bound on their standard keys on the QWERTY keyboard. For other keyboards, default hotkeys are bound to the keys which are in the positions occupied by the following keys on the QWERTY keyboard (e.g., ' is bound to a champion's 1st ability on the Dvorak keyboard).

  • Q - Use champion's 1st ability. For abilities that target a champion, you must follow this by either left-clicking the champion or pressing F1-F5 to target a team member. Same for W, E, and R.
  • W - Use champion's 2nd ability.
  • E - Use champion's 3rd ability.
  • R - Use champion's ultimate ability.
  • Ctrl+Q - Add an ability point to the champion's 1st ability.
  • Ctrl+W - Add an ability point to the champion's 2nd ability.

  • H - Hold Command (Hold works like Stop, but is toggled while held down).
  • D - Cast 1st Summoner spell.

Many more hotkeys were listed by Rioter "HoHums" here, although many are for internal use only: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=15644321#15644321..... /hi ;)

Commands[]

League of Legends in-game chat gives the possibility to perform some actions during the game:

  • /help - Lists / commands and provides descriptions
  • /surrender or /ff - Starts vote for team surrender
  • /joke, /j or Ctrl+1 - Plays Champion's joke
  • /taunt, /t or Ctrl+2 - Plays Champion's taunt
  • /dance, /d or Ctrl+3 - Starts the Champion dance sequence
  • /laugh, /l or Ctrl+4 - Plays Champion's laugh

PvP.net provides players with the ability to chat with friends who are currently in an active session of League of Legends. For players in the AIR client, this process is as simple as opening a chat window through your buddy list. Players in-game will be able to send messages to players in the PvP.net client, or even in other games of League of Legends by making use of the following chat commands, followed by a message:

  • /w or /msg "summoner name" - will send a message to another player. Summoner names are case sensitive.
  • /r - will send a message to the last player who sent you a message. Note that it will automatically add the recipient after /r.
  • /all - will send a message to all players in the current match (useful if you forgot to press shift + enter).

PvP.net provides players with the ability to block unwanted messages from other players through the use of the following commands:

  • /mute "summoner name" - will mute all text from a player for the duration of your current game session.
  • /ignore "summoner name" - will mute a player during this game session and all subsequent game sessions.

File Location for Keybindings[]

The file that holds the keybindings can be found here:

*\League of Legends\Config\PresistedSettings.JSON

Some people have trouble changing the keybindings through the in-game interface. Editing this file is an alternate way of changing your keybindings. In particular, the game UI forbids assigning Shift modified key-bindings to the basic champion abilities, so editing the file is the only way to achieve this. The file does say "editing it [the file] is not recommended," however, the old method of using the imput.ini file no longer functions. and as such this is the only method for getting those unsupported keybindings.

Another thing to note is that it's wise to test your key changes in a tutorial game and if it does not work, go to the in-game menu for keybindings and press the "reset to default" button.

Below is a list of changable values in the game and their default setting. It should be noted that in this file many other setting may come before the setting you wish to change; namely the Chat Settings, Floating Text settings, General settings, Hud settings, Sound settings. Settings presumably appear in the file in the order which they are modified in. Additionally, while the names and setting below are accurate, the formatting of the list is not (The list is formated like the .ini file and the .JSON uses a different syntax.)

Below is an example file that only switches the smartcast and normal cast keys.

[GameEvents] 
evtSmartCastSpell1  = [q]
evtSmartCastSpell2  = [w]
evtSmartCastSpell3  = [e]
evtSmartCastSpell4  = [r]
evtSmartCastAvatarSpell1  = [d]
evtSmartCastAvatarSpell2  = [f]
evtSmartCastItem1=[1]

evtCastSpell1 = [Shift][q]
evtCastAvatarSpell1 = [Shift][d]
evtCastAvatarSpell2 = [Shift][f]

evtUseItem4 = [Shift][4]
evtUseItem5 = [Shift][5]

As of the Skarner patch (V1.0.0.123), there is now a new keybinding available: Smart + Self Cast. This new setup is nearly identical to the old smartcast except in one regard: spells that you can target on yourself you can now cast to yourself by pressing the key with the mouse over any invalid target. For example, with this setup you can apply Morgana's Black Shield to yourself by pressing the self + smartcast key and having your mouse over anything that is not an allied champion. For those of you who want to edit the input.ini file, here is an example of self + smartcast applied to the standard keys:

[GameEvents] 
evtSmartPlusSelfCastSpell4 = [r]
evtSmartPlusSelfCastSpell3 = [e]
evtSmartPlusSelfCastSpell2 = [w]
evtSmartPlusSelfCastSpell1 = [q]
evtSmartPlusSelfCastAvatarSpell1 = [d]
evtSmartPlusSelfCastAvatarSpell2 = [f]

evtCastSpell4 = [r][Shift]
evtCastSpell3 = [e][Shift]
evtCastSpell2 = [w][Shift]
evtCastSpell1 = [q][Shift]
evtCastAvatarSpell1 = [d][Shift]
evtCastAvatarSpell2 = [f][Shift]

Switching primary and secondary mouse buttons[]

LoL does not support the setting within operating systems that switch primary and secondary buttons, nor does it allow the changing of these within the in-game client. To switch these buttons you must use set the following values in the PersistedSettings.JSON file (which includes settings omitted from the previous example, and be sure to use proper syntax as indicated above).

[GameEvents] 
evtPlayerSelectClick = [Button 2] 
evtPlayerMoveClick = [Button 1] 
evtPlayerAttackMoveClick = [Shift] [Button 1] 
evtPetMoveClick = [Alt] [Button 1] 
evtPetReturn = [Alt] [Button 2] 
[HUDEvents] 
evtOnUIMouse1 = [Button 2] 
evtOnUIMouse2 = [Button 1] 
evtOnUIMouse3 = [Button 3] 
evntHudMoveableSelect = [Button 2] 
evtOrbitCamera = [Ctrl][Button 2]

This list does not encompass all mouse functions and requires expanding.
