    If you want to enjoy your UO experience, I recommend every single person read this guide and start applying it.

    The big goal is to be able to keep your 4 fingers of your left hand on the ASDF row just like they sit when you're not typing. That way, your brain is already programmed (for most people) to know where each key is. So you just have to remember what spells go to what key. There is no looking down at your keyboard at all.

    I have also binded control to my thumb mouse button(It's a logitech G500s). Therefore, I have my whole keyboard for hotkeys, and if I hold my thumb button for control, i'll have a 2nd keyboard.

    Setup hotkeys that make you comfortable, and get USED to them. They will help TREMENDOUSLY in PVM, and later PvP.

    Spacebar for toggle stun with war/peace is great also.

    This is great thanks for providing. Will try an incorporate it. My only concern is how does this work when you want to type to communicate with other players? Is there some sort of 'switch' like a num-lock equivalent that allows you to type with casting a load of spells?

    Razor has an "enable/disable hotkeys" option that you can assign to a button.
