StancesNG Key Configuration

Keys are set in the StancesNG.toml file found in SKSE/Plugins/.

Setting Up Keys

Each stance is assigned a key or key combination in the config file.

NOTE: Wolf stance is the cycle key if cycling is used.

[Keybinds]
sBearStanceKey = "shift+x"
sWolfStanceKey = "x"
sHawkStanceKey = "control+x"
sNeutralStanceKey = "alt+v"

Key Combinations

Any keys can be combined using + as a separator.

sBearStanceKey = "ctrl+shift+e"   # three key combination
sHawkStanceKey = "f"              # single key
sWolfStanceKey = "alt+f4"         # yeah, don't do that

NOTE: Key order doesn't matter — ctrl+shift+e and shift+ctrl+e are treated the same.
NOTE: Spaces around + are ignored — ctrl + e and ctrl+e are treated the same.
NOTE: W, A, S, D are automatically ignored in combinations to allow stance changes while moving. You can not assign any of them as stance key. Not even when used with a different key as combo key.
NOTE: the " are needed because the config file is in a .toml format. sBearStanceKey = shift+x is not valid.
NOTE: Not all key combos are a smart choice. Duplicates are also not valid shift+shift won't work obviously

Unbinding a Key

To unbind a stance key, leave the value empty:

sBearStanceKey = ""

This might be useful if you intend to use cycling and disable the other stance keys.
Mind, cycling does not cycle to Neutral stance.

Default Config:

[Keybinds]
sNeutralStanceKey = "alt+v"
sBearStanceKey = "shift+x"
sWolfStanceKey = "x"
sHawkStanceKey = "control+x"

[General]
bUseCycling = false
bApplyStanceOnStart = false
bPlayTransitionAnimation = false

[Forms]
sTransitionAnimationForm = ""
