Someone asked about the "Move" button and how it works. I like to call it "force move" as there is a force stand still. Sometimes it's annoying trying to make your character move by left clicking because there will be an ability bound to that button and you will shoot off that ability instead. You can bind a button to Move in the keybindings menu, which forces your character to move. The character will walk in the direction of your mouse pointer for as long as you are holding down that key.
Example: Right now I have force move bound to the D key. If I hit D and have my mouse pointer in the upper right of the screen, the character is going to try and walk in that direction. When I stop holding D down the character will stop moving. You don't have to click with the mouse or anything while doing this. It's actually a nice thing to use now that I know about it (and I didn't know about it until the other day).
i have show items on ground as spacebar because thats what i did in d2, doesnt seem as necessary now seeings how item show for 10 seconds when dropped. so I may give the force stand still a try on spacebar
EDIT: the only thing i wish they changed or allowed is the Advanced tool tip key. I have to move my whole hand to reach ctrl they way i have mine set up. Really annoying
You can set advanced tool tips to always show in the options menu somewhere. Take a gander and you should be able to find it pretty quickly.

Actually, I think force move works like a mouse click but without the attack. For instance, if you're mouse pointer was in the upper right hand corner of the screen and you hit the force move button just once, you will walk all the way to where you're mouse pointer was. You can hold the button down, but it will always keep moving when you release it if you're mouse pointer isn't right next to your character. I use it off and on and I don't think it's something I couldn't live with out. Too be honest, I usually use it when I want to keep moving while reaching for something with my right hand (beer, water, soda, most likely beer
Is everyone using the default key bindings or have you found some that work better? I personally like keeping my fingers on the home row when possible so I mapped my keys as follows:
Actions Bar -> A, S, D, F (instead of 1, 2, 3, 4)
Stand Still -> Spacebar (instead of shift - this is amazing)
Move-> Q
Inventory -> W
Map -> E
Potion -> R
I almost never pick my left hand up and it's very comfortable. If I had to suggest just one thing here it is moving "stand still" to spacebar. It makes all the difference in the world.
I too have been using the home row for the Action Bar and the same key for the forced Stand Still.
I do really like the map, potion, and move button. I'll be using those now, too.
I started using the home row when i realized how little I liked having relocate my hand to chat. And I just felt awkward trying to hit the shift key while using 1 through 4. So using the space key just felt natural. That was the first thing I changed.
Ok, so in Diablo 2, I could move from Corpse Explosion, to Iron Maiden, to Bone Spear, to Teeth, to Golem, to whatever else...f1-f8. Now today, in beta, I wastrying to figure out on the Witch Doc how to be able to throw the spiders, active skill 1, and then quickly switch back to the blow gun. Is there a way to do this, and maybe I just missed it?
Now i dont see why no1 mentioned this but this is pritty simple like my mouse that i got like 4 years ago got like some setup where u can change what certan button does in some program so u can put that your left mouseclick does something that lets say mouse button 5 does and then u bind mouse button 5 to use force move ingame so u got left click only move right click u can use normaly u dmg skill
and i dont see need for you to use shift for force stop u can bind it so that when u pres 1-2-3-4 that u force stop in additon to casting spell since u wont be moving when casting at least as wiz i wont.
So i hope this helps you to use less buttons ingame so u can rest your hand. This is gona help me since i got problem with my right hand and i cant keep on clicking to infinity
Absolutely, unless Blizzard has approved this which I dont think they have.
Just read the TOS, and what concerns explicit permision from blues, they havent said anything about sharpening filter, or multiboxing, etc. either.
It most certainly does violate the EULA, as does the sharpening filter.

And yeah they have commented on multiboxing. If you are waiting on a Blue to comment on every little thing that may or may not be a violation, you'll be waiting for awhile.
