Down with Gear Swapping!

[Greatguardian]

Unless they changed it, you have to hit F1, F2, F3, etc before using <stal> or <stpt>. It's the reason I've stuck with <stpc>. But I also don't bitch about people swapping gear.

I believe it's more the default is set to whoever you have targeted, like stpc. You can target someone, then hit the stpt macro, and the cursor will be on them. Or you can just hit the stpt macro and scroll up/down the party list from whoever you had targeted to the person you want to cure. I don't use them either, personally, but I'm quick with my function keys and I've never had an issue with target loss, despite working with some Christmas Tree Plds/DDs over the years. I still highly recommend stpt/stal.

I use other ways of coping with gear swapping. And the scrolling up and down has always been available with compact keyboard.
