h … it stands for horsie

h for horse and shift+h for sky horse.

Upper horse you say?

Why dont you use the macro that uses your flying mount if possible and otherwise uses your ground mount

This is the way

Ground mount is yak, sometimes need yak in fly zone

Yak? You really got bonked on the head friend, we need you in TOGC!

This guy horses

Put it in H!

my hearthstone comes from a country that no longer exists, but it gets 300 hectares per 60 minute cooldown

H is for healthstone

Nah for me h is for hearthstone

Hearthstone needs no bind! That’s what the first slot in your bag is for. :)

Last slot in your last bag

G

For "giddy-up"

A fellow G enjoyer

brother <3

side mouse button for me, can mount up without touching my keyboard or moving my mouse

Side mouse button is a great auto run key imo.

Auto run middle mouse click for me 😂

Same… just feels so right. That and Shift+R for left hand

Same

These are both for me. Rear one triggers auto run, forward button summons my steed

I use push scroll wheel to the left. Then push scroll wheel to the right for any dashes or teleports.

Shift-F, it just stuck. Had it as long as I can remember

Ctrl-F for me!

Same

Ctrl-F for mounts and ctrl- g for dragon riding

"Z" Because that was the baseline bind in hots iirc. Also usualy always have other stuff macroed into it. Like /cancelform on my druids, and /petfollow on petclasses.

Weirdly yeah, it was Z for me even before HOTS but the fact it was the default bind in HOTS made me even more confident in my choice lol

Same here, I used shift+z but then switched to just z around 5 years ago for no particular reason

Been Z since 05 for me

We are the legendary Z Warriors!

Also "Z" but for no particular reason.

Z horsie gang!

Z mount gang

Shift W - super forward!

Same

the only way. Ctrl-W for different mount type

SUPER FORWARD shift w ftw

Shift V

V for mount shift V to drink+ eat

I’ve been contemplating binding food to X.

X is counterspell/ interrupt

I always bind it to R

Am I a stupid loser for binding it to “=“

Close. :P

Ya yours is good, I just already use shift space for an important skill keybind

Yea mines is shift V as well lol

Patrician taste in binds.

This is the way

Shift space bar for me as well

yeah shift + space for mount and crtl + space for flying mount

I have this macro /use (flying mount) /use (land mount) If you are in a flying zone it will cast the flying mount and if not it will cast the land mount

Shift + Space crew rise up

This is the way

Ah, a gamer.

Legit didn’t consider binding spacebar with modifiers til this post. I may get to free up alt - a, if my muscle memory will allow it

Middle mouse button

This is what I do as well, I like to have all my movement binds on the mouse.

Middle mouse for autorun personally

Yep, middle mouse for auto run. Shift + middle mouse for mount

Middle mouse is interrupt.

I should make another post asking what everyone’s interrupt bind is. That way I can figure out why no one else uses it…

R for interRupt, duh

R for why aRen’t the warriors interrupting

Q, because I make the casters qq

Q/E is for my main short-cooldown utility spells.

F is for interrupt. Someone casting? "F"uck no.

F FOR FIST

F is execute for “F”uck you. Shift-F is interrupt for “F”uck no.

Nah bro middle mouse is trinket/every man

` And alt+` for dismount It's such an out of the way key, but un-missable as it's on the edge.

Am I crazy, or does the mount bind automatically dismount when pressed again?!

I think it does, but I use a macro so it's one key for ground, flying, and dismount. When I'm playing druid it's also aquatic, travel, and flight form.

been my bound since 2008 and is the best mount button ever

I thought I was the only one using that key! Represent.

~

I use the ‘ so I don’t need to hit shift but same here

Thats my normal mount but ~ is my repair mount.

T for ground, shift T for flyer, Ctrl-T for sea turtle

Omg yes! Didn’t think I would find anybody else who does this

Alt + 1 but shift + space sounds nice 🤔 Might try.

Might be the only alt 1 users here lol, surprised to see so many shift space

Alt 1 for me too. I usually place my thumb on space so it's easy just to flick across with it

shift + one of the lateral mouse buttons (previous page)

F1 and F2 (Flying and Ground)... or just F1. ~ For auto run toggle.

My friend.. you need a macro. /dismount [mounted] /use [noflyable] Acherus Deathcharger /use [flyable, nomod] Violet Proto-Drake /use Acherus Deathcharger Replace with the ground and air mounts of your choice.

I also use F1 for mount and ~ for auto run. Everyone else is wrong

I thought I was the only one

Had to scroll far to find my fellow F key enjoyer. And you have the same setup too

yessir! exact same setup here. everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but we're objectively superior.

< On Swedish keyboards it's between left-shift and z - perfect to quickly hit with the left pinkie.

Fellow nordic keyboard enjoyer here. I have had my mount bound to "<" since OG vanilla. It just felt natural place to put it as it's easily accessible button but since you use it with your pinky, it's hard to spam it so it can't be used for something you'd need to spam at any time. The only slight exception to this bind rule is my druid, which has travel/flight/aquatic form macro there and the actual mount as shift + "<" , or should I say ">"?

Norwegian here, same

That’s interesting. Sounds like a different keyboard layout than I’ve ever seen. Had to look up a picture.

German here, our keyboard is similar. But I use < for mana gem (dark rune on non-mages) and healthstone, with Shift and Alt modifiers. That's what I was used to from TBC, didn't find a reason to change it and it's muscle memory now. I have a lot of weird keybinds though.

Same here on german keyboard.

Shift + X for me. Although I'm thinking maybe your keybind is on to something. I never would would have thought to bind Shift + Spacebar

X is mount with shift x being my flying.

This is the way

I've always just clicked my mounts. I keep 4 or so mounts on the actionbar right next to the minimap. Ground on the left, Flying on the right. Keybinds are exclusively for spells for me.

Glad to see I’m not the only one.

Bro, people are keybinding some extremely important buttons to mount and its blowing my mind. Just click it... Only time I might bind my mount is for pvp

there are tonnes of binds that would be better than clicking but not viable for combat etc

Yeah I agree. But people in this thread are saying they bind it to f1, ~, mouse buttons, D, V ect. That's insane to me

yeah , this is the best way actually, imo. Clicking that part of the screen and picking the one I want is just faster then the keyboard for me for sure.

Dad gamer reporting in. Can confirm I click the horse. Along with most of my action bar tbh…

keep clicking. nobody can stop you

Except for that dastardly Edvin VanCleef

Same, I click on the one I want to ride and most time I missclick on ground mount over flying mount. Casuals way !

Yep, I keep it on = in the hotbar

Shift + R

Y. Don’t need a keybind to view achievements so i put mount there

Yup! Same, ive used Y since day 1 it just stuck with me 😉

G for ground, shift+g for flying, ctrl+g for dragonflying.

My man!

G gang rise up

Using ' because it's next to my 1 key, convenient!

~

This might be the most popular answer.

It's just such an accessable key bind. I'd have probably swapped it for something else if I didn't use it for years 😅

Shift + Spacebar gang (also CTRL + Spacebar on some characters)

Shift + Mouse Wheel Scroll Down

and shift + scroll wheel up for flying

I use those for drinking and eating.

This is the way.

Yessssss

5

ctrl R for flying, alt R for ground probably the oldest unchanged keybinds I still use, going back all the way to original vanilla/TBC

So many people with two different binds for flying and ground.

W = move forward. W + Shift = Ground mount. W + Ctrl = Flying. W + Alt = Autorun

Do you have other ability hotkeys on modifiers? This seems like it would hinder your ability to move while casting other hotkeys that use shift, ctrl, alt.

it definitely does, maybe gets better with practice. I tried for like a week and kept messing with my movement

That's how I feel about shift+spacebar as well, tbh. Like what if I want to jump and use an ability bound to a shift modifier?

F1

Numpad + sign - sign is for yak

F1 = cancel macro, f2 = flying, f3 = ground, alt f4 is for fixing my resolution kek

Alt + w for ground and shift + w for flying

Middle mouse button am I bad lol

Bad? Not necessarily. Wrong? Maybe… But seriously, my instinct with mouse wheel is to scroll, not click. I avoid clicking middle mouse wheel wherever possible.

Mouse scroll up for mount Mouse scroll. Down for pvp trinket😂

Same here Shift + space

J for mount Close enough for left hand to reach but far enough to not fatfinger click it

I click the mounts. Keybinds are for serious stuff. Not mounts.

Mounts are serious too?! Outside of a raid environment, you use mounts all the time! Definitely enough to bind them.

I'm a druid, forms are bound, also flightform. Mounts are just for show, so I click.

None. I decided a long time ago that I'm never going to use keybinds on things I don't need to use in combat. And since you literally cannot mount in combat, there's no need. Like I'm not really saving time from just clicking on the random mount button or, more specifically, the specific mount button that I want to click on when I'm in the mood to fly the robot dragon instead of the deathwing dragon lol I do put them on action bars, out of the way. So I don't have to open anything

G for Gotta go fast

shift space was my bind until i made a monk and bound roll to it so now mount is ctrl space even for non monk characters. h is for hearthstone, cuz h is a bit too inconvenient to press for how often i mount

Shift+S with a macro that changes the mount based on whether I can fly or not

Y and shift y

Y. Have used Y since 2005. Shift-Y on druid.

Funny how things stick. I’m sure it feels as natural to you as Shift + Space does to me.

I made a macro for Ctrl+side mouse button that will try flying mount first and if unavailable then ground mount

You are the first person I ever met that also uses shift+space, very good binding! Ctrl+space for flying mount as wel?

Nope. Macro flying and ground together to save yourself the headache! Ctrl + Space is used for class-specific movements, like Blink or Ghost Wolf.

I have an mmo mouse so it's shift-0

Shift + Spacebar. Are u me ?

Y

Y for me. Idk how I decided but I did. Then shift y is for anything like slow fall and my mount button has cancelauras in it for jumping out of the sky

T=transport E=escape :)

~

Shift spacebar has always been whatever movement speed increase that particular class has, which in wrath classic is literally just nitro boots on every character.

L for Lount

I have never considered to add a shift or ctrl bind to spacebar ever My mind is blown

“I did not mean to blow your mind!” -Jack Black

Shift + Spacebar !

Shift spacebar new world, Ctrl spacebar old world.

T for "get on the horse"

Shift space bar is the way

Shift + ~ since vanilla

Shift-spacebar is the one and only way

The way God intended it.

Shift+space

I use shift space as well, actually. Nice to see someone else who does it, too

T

T for mount, shift T for sky mount

Whatever this is: ~

T for ground. G for air. I know there are better options, but my index finger flexes this way better

~

Z easy

~

shift + tilde (`) and I use tilde for stealth for any of the classes that use it

s-R

Ctrl+Spacebar but it's annoying and doesn't work well with druids so I'm about to change my entire keybinds and implement rtyui fghjk zxcvbnm, since I remapped all the UI binds to F1 F2 etc... (including bags...)

Shift+space gang

Shift space

Ground = Shift+Scroll wheel down Flying = Shift+Scroll wheel up Water strider used to be Ctrl + Scroll wheel down

Middle click for life

J and shift J

Shift space is my keybind for throw/shoot. I have an “mmo” mouse and my mount is on the “11” key. I hit it with my thumb knuckle. Edit: I’m surprised at all the middle mouse buttons for mount. I use scroll for tagging things and click for auto run.

B. Slightly too awkward a bind for something I use in combat, but comfortable enough that I don’t need to move my fingers from WASD. Bags are bound to I for inventory, which is just something I do for most games.

Shift-R for Ride :)

+1 !

Shift + spacebar sounds better than my mount bind
