Keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts let you do common jobs with one key press. The Roat Pkz Keyboard Shortcuts window binds an action to each of 34 keys: hold CTRL (CMD on a Mac) and press the key to use it. Out of the box they load your custom kits, spawn food and open your kits, and Royal Donators also get the bank, shops, teleports and restores. A second window, Keybinding, sets which F-key (or Esc) opens each side tab, with a Roat and an OSRS layout to start from.

The Keyboard Shortcuts window
- Each key has a dropdown. Pick an action and it's saved straight away. Pick None to leave a key free.
- Hold CTRL and press the key to use the action. On a Mac, hold CMD instead; the window shows CMD or CTRL to match your computer. Holding Alt at the same time doesn't trigger a shortcut.
- The Enabled tick box in the top left switches all shortcuts on or off. Its tooltip reads When enabled, all shortcuts below will be active.
- Restore Defaults sets every key back to its default action after you confirm.
- Actions written in cyan need Royal Donator or higher, and the green one needs Divine Donator. You can pick them at any rank, but using one without the rank tells you which rank you need.
- Your shortcuts are saved on your account, so they follow you to any computer.

Every key can be set to any of these actions.

The restore actions follow the same rules as the restore commands: you can't use them under attack, in PvP zones, dangerous PvM areas, raids, minigames, the Duel Arena or Barrows. Restore Special also can't be used right after you leave a PvP zone.
F-keys
The Keybinding window sets which key opens each of the 14 side tabs. Pick F1 to F12, ESC or NONE from a tab's dropdown. Giving a key to one tab takes it away from the tab that had it. Two buttons load a full layout: Set ROAT Default and Set OSRS Default. The Roat layout is the one you start with.
| Side tab | Roat layout | OSRS layout |
|---|---|---|
| Combat Options | F5 | F1 |
| Skills | None | F2 |
| Quest tab | None | F3 |
| Inventory | Esc and F1 | Esc |
| Worn Equipment | F2 | F4 |
| Prayer | F3 and F6 | F5 |
| Magic | F4 | F6 |
| Clan Chat | F7 | F7 |
| Friends List | F8 | F8 |
| Player tab | F9 | F9 |
| Logout | F10 | None |
| Settings | F11 | F10 |
| Emotes | F12 | F11 |
| Kits (Pre-Made Kits) | None | F12 |
In the Roat layout, F1 also opens the Inventory and F6 also opens Prayer; the window lists them as ESC and F3. Esc first closes any window you have open. If nothing is open, it opens the tab bound to Esc.
Your F-keys are saved by your game client, not your account, so set them again on a new computer.
Tips
- Put the kits you use most in slots 1 to 10 of Custom kits so they each have a CTRL key. Moving a kit up or down in the kit list changes its number.
- CTRL + R (Load Last Kit) is a quick way to re-gear after a fight.
- CTRL + C copies what you've typed in the chat box, and CTRL + V pastes into it (CMD on a Mac). C and V aren't among the shortcut keys.
- If shortcuts stop working, check that Enabled is ticked in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.
