    Shift + NUM5

    Anytime i try to bind a hotbar action to Shift + NUM5 it says commands cannot be bound to that key.

    What purpose does this combo serve since i cannot assign it?

    Note: Tried on multiple computers.

    It's not really the games fault, it's Windows (it might even predate Windows, I'm not sure).

    Holding down shift disables the Numberlock Toggle so the keys act as if Numberlock was off (same as if Caps Lock is on and you hold shift you type in lowercase). The big difference with the "NUM5" though is that there is no normal function underneath it. You can confirm this, with Numberlock on, just hold down shift and press NUM8 or NUM2 in this window. The page will scroll up/down instead of typing 8/2.

    There's probably a registry key to disable that behaviour, but I don't know it (if there is one), but hope this at least points you in the right direction!

    Thank you very much for the reply. For as long as i have been in the computer field, i never noticed that before. That it is the only number key without a shift function. I'll just use a key remapper program to get it to work. Thanks for the reply!
