Targeting and User Interface Controls
Basic Options
Hit (ESC) to bring up the options menu, where you can adjust video and game settings, and re-map your key bindings.
Character Information
Click on the button in the Action Bar that contains the portrait of your character, or hit the default keybinding of C. This will bring up your Character Info panel.
Leveling
As you level in the game, you will gain talent points which you can immediately (after level 10) apply to your character by hitting "N" to open the Talents tab. The Talents tab contains all your currently available talents and their costs in talent points.
Sticky Targeting
When this option is turned on, you will not deselect your current target when you click on empty space.
Autoloot
Shift-right clicks on a corpse or chest to autoloot it. These will not autoloot bind-on-acquire items. You can select an option in the Options menu that will turn autolooting on for simply right-clicking a corpse or chest.
Equipping Items
Equip items by right-clicking them from your inventory. If your bank window is open, right-clicking an item will instead place it your bank.
Tab
The Tab key cycles through nearby enemy targets. If you manually select a different target using another method, and then quickly hit Tab again, your last Tab-selected target will be re-selected and you can continue Tab-selecting where you left off. Clearing your target will restart the Tab selection process.
Icons
The icons of negative effects that appear on the player have a color to indicate their type. Curses are purple, disease is yellow, poison is green and magic is blue. In addition, when a party member is struck by one of these four types of negative effects, their portrait will pulse the appropriate color for 30 seconds or until the effect is removed.
Minimap
NPCs with level-appropriate quests always appear on your minimap as yellow exclamation points. NPCs that have quests that you have completed display as yellow question marks. In addition, flight masters that you have not yet gotten the flight point for will display on the minimap as a green exclamation point.
All players have a tracking bubble on their minimap. Click it to open a menu of specific types of NPCs to look for, or you can select a different tracking type if your character has access to it - such as mining nodes, herbs, beasts, undead, and more.
Map
In patch 2.3, the Battle Map was renamed to the Zone Map and can be turned on for any zone rather than just PvP objective zones. There is a drop-down menu in the world map screen that allows you to choose when the zone map should display.
Display Health Bars
The default keybinding, V, displays all health bars of nearby enemies (both computer and player-controlled) over their heads. The default keybinding Shift-V shows health bars for friendly targets only, not enemies. The default keybinding Control-V shows health bars for both friendly targets and enemy targets.
Time Management
Show Clock in Interface Options (Display) will put a clock at the bottom of the minimap that can display either the server time or your computer time.
You can now set an alarm for a specific time. Click the clock to open up the configuration window.
There is now a stopwatch you can access via either the clock configuration window or by typing /timer, /sw, or /stopwatch. Normally it counts up but entering a time via the slash command will cause the counter to count backward. Examples: /timer 80, /timer 1:20 (both will count 1 minute 20 seconds.)
Floating Combat Text
Floating combat text was added to the game with a number of options. You can see when you take damage, when you are healed and how much, when you acquire and lose auras and much more. You can activate floating combat text in the options menu.
Friend Names
The names over the heads of nearby players who are on your friends list will appear in a different color so you can tell when they are nearby.
Friends List
Your friends list has a notes field per friend. Click on the note icon to add a note for a particular friend.
