[Quick Tutorial] How to use Shortcuts for Spells & Skills
Hello,

After watching many BG3 youtube videos, I realised many people don't use shortcuts for their skills and spells.
They always click on the spell icon in order to activate it, never using their keyboard.
Maybe they dislike shortcuts...or many they don't know how to use them.

If you want to use shortcuts, here's how :
1- click on "Personnalised" at the bottom right corner of your skils
2- open your skills window
3- drag the skill you want to shortcut, into the Personnalised Bar.
4- that's it : press your keyboard shortcut to activate the skill / spell.

Here's a pic of this manipulation :

You can configure your keyboard shortcuts, by pressing Escape > Options > Shortcuts.
The Skills / Spells shortcuts are at the bottom of this page.

Thanks for reading me and have a nice day. :)

It's a turn based game, you don't need to use shortcuts, clicking things is fine.
That's why you don't see many people use them.

I just do not think it needs a tutorial since it is self-explanatory. But nonetheless a nice share. Would have fit in better in the guides section.

I played this game for 500 hours *and* was vaguely aware it was possible but still didn't figure it out. Probably because it behaves very strangely when using more than two rows.

Thanks for making the guide!
