Autocast on Mac OS
Hi! Playing on a Mac Pro with a normal PC keyboard with a num-pad. But as Num-lock does not exist on Mac... How can I set things up for certain keys to auto-cast??
Thanks in advance!

if you don't wanna mess with autohotkey you could get a gaming mouse like logitech/razer. it comes with software you can set up macro in.

You could use AutoHotkey, or a similar program that lets you write your own macros. AHK (auto hotkey) runs as a program and can recognize specific inputs to turn it on/off without tabbing!

In D3 options, I set the skills to 1 set of letters and 1 set of numbers (this allows me to set auto-cast independently of manual-cast, but I like the skills lower down on the keyboard too because it's more confortable). In the upper menu bar, I click "Show Keyboard Viewer". (You might need to enable this in Preferences.) The Keyboard Viewer will float over any application, including D3 - I just pull it all the way to the bottom of the screen so it doesn't get in the way.
In the Keyboard Viewer, I click on what I think is "Function" (it's not labelled) - on my version, it's the key with a question mark in a circle above the delete key and below F13. I hold the number key assigned to the skill I want to auto-cast while I click the mystery key. Sometimes I have to do this more than once. To pause it, i just hit enter and that opens the chat window in D3, but the are probably other ways to pause it. I play full-screen windowed, and if I switch windows for some reason it has to be reactivated.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks. Will try find the 'Function key' tomorrow and report back. Cheers!
No key on my keyboard activates the "Function" key :(
