Option to always hold down the Shift key

There needs to be an option to always attack/cast from position. Shift key in that circumstance should become "move then attack".

Most if all my build always hold down the shift key, and it hurts fingers.

This should certainly not be the case for LMB. Also not for the dedicated 'move' command.

But for other skills/buttons it would probably improve the gameplay experience.
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

Yeah, definitely. As of right now, the move button ignores the shift command. I imagine it would do the same.
This is a workaround that didn't work in PoE for a long time but does now.

The reason it didn't work is that while having 'attack in place' toggled to on, you couldn't interact with objects/masters/WPs etc. At some point between now and a couple of years ago, this was changed.


OK.

Go to your options page.

Input tab.

Go to 'Attack in Place' (shift default) and reasign it to a Num Pad key. An easy example would be 0 on Num Pad.

Save

Your Attack in Place is now bound to Num Pad 0

Hold down Num Pad 0, with it held down now press Num Lock. With both held down now release Num Pad 0 first then release Num Lock.

This should have toggled your attack in place to on.

You might need to try it a couple of times as your key may have been toggled to the secondary function.

Note, if you have special mouse keys assigned you might just need to press Num Lock alone afterwards to return them from, say arrow up to N3 if your actions changed their function.

The on toggle will remain through alt-tabs, zone changes, character changes and even log in screen. It is only reset if you actually close the game or manually reset it with the same actions that set it.



It would be so much easier if GGG would add in a separate setting option to always attack in place so your attack in place bind would then become a 'don't attack in place' if you used it. Basically reversing the function if you wish.

Casually casual.

You can make the following AHK script

"
#IfWinActive Path of Exile
{
#SingleInstance force

Enter::
Suspend, toggle
Send, {Enter}
Return

r::Send, {R}
}
Return


that one will use shift+R whenever you press r, customize to your liking. It messes with the chat but it's the only way I know to make Flame Dash not suck balls.
