UI Tips and Tricks
Reg:
Weird. Ctrl U U works every time on the guild list for me as well. This is the first I've heard of it not working for anyone.
edit: And I've never seen those other bugs either. Sounds like they must be related problems.
Sjofn:
I've had the /g and /p not working bug, relogging fixed it for me and it only happened once that I can recall, though.

It's an acknowledged bug but no idea what it is linked to. I keep getting the party chat bug but have never had the guild chat bug, for example. It's apparently been around a long time in the beta though so not expecting a fast fix... :-(

Guild's always worked but I had bugged Party/Operations for a few days. They're working again though for reasons beyond human understanding.

- If you hide the bottom center bar, the keybinds for it get disabled and any abilities you put there don't work (until you unhide it).
- The UI does recognize the difference between regular keyboard keys and numpad-keys, even if no indication of this is given when you keybind your ability bars. You CAN bind the right bar to the numpad and the bottom or left to the regular numeric keys.
- I found it useful to completely remap all the keybinds, their defaults suck. Self Target Modifier makes the ability you press work on yourself, and Focus Target Modifier makes it work on the focus target instead, but you have to hold these keys down while you activate, so the default bindings are too out of the way to function properly. I made the Focus Target Modifier the ~ key, and the self target modifier the tab key.
- You can edit the chat window by right-clicking on the "General" or the "Other" tab above the chat window. Enabling System Messages in the General window spams you with loot messages, but you can also see what your companions are saying (esp. droids). Also can see what random NPC's are chatting about.
- You can find out what stats your companions are supposed to use by reading their codex entries.
- When the auction house sells your items, the Successful Sale email is sent right away but you have to wait for the cash for 1 hr. Do not delete the email (the delete button is available) while you're waiting for the cash to get there.
- Don't forget to spend the commendation cash rather than credits, and before you buy blue mods / items off the auction house, check the commendation vendors; people re-list things.
- If you enable the map zoom feature, the zoom circle functions like the minimap (it shows all icons), so you can scan for vendors and bind points and quest markers in distant places. You can also open the maps of different areas by double-clicking door / elevator / passageway icons, sort of like virtual travel.
