I think most peo­ple are aware of the basic key­board short­cuts in LotRO. K for skills, L for your quest log, I for inven­tory and so forth. There are oth­ers that are a lit­tle less obvi­ous, likely only used by those who bother to look at the in-game key map­ping menus. I thought it would be nice to cover some of the most use­ful ones here. Obvi­ously these are using the default key mappings.

Auto Loot

Auto Loot auto­mat­i­cally takes all items from a corpse, assum­ing you have room. This can be enabled by default in the UI Set­tings menu, but if you’d rather leave it off you can use Shift+Left Click to do it as you wish. Use­ful when you have tons of inven­tory space and don’t want to waste time. Slayer Deeds come to mind.

Detach Tooltip

Hov­er­ing over almost any­thing in-game dis­plays a rel­e­vant tool tip. If, for some rea­son, you don’t want that tool tip to go away, you can press H. This detaches the tool tip and con­verts it to a nor­mal box. You can move it around as you please.

Autoat­tack Toggle

I’m sure every­one knows that the num­ber keys han­dle the skills you’ve placed in your quick­slots. What about your nor­mal attack? Just hit ~ (tilde) to ini­ti­ate it. This was some­thing I didn’t real­ize until I was in the game for a few weeks. Quite use­ful. If you have a ranged attack and are far enough away (assum­ing you don’t have “run to tar­get on attack” enabled in the Options), this will ini­ti­ate that as well.
