A Hotkey is a button or combination of buttons that when pressed have some effect. In Tibia, players can set hotkeys to use or equip items, send a string of text, activate an Action Button or use some other client feature. For example, a player can use hotkeys to eat Ham (use), drink a Health Potion (use on yourself), dig with a Shovel where the player chooses (use with crosshairs), or use a Sudden Death Rune (use on target). Backpacks need not be opened in order to use hotkeyed items.
Tibia 11 Client[]
One of the main improvements of the Tibia 11 client was improved control over the hotkeys. Differently from Tibia 10, on Tibia 11 you can set many more combinations of keys as hotkeys, as well as change client hotkeys (e.g. Ctrl+L to logout). Similar to the feature originally introduced in the Flash Client, on Tibia 11 it's also possible to create hotkey presets. Every hotkey set has two modes, depending if you have Chat On or Chat Off.
Tibia 10 Client[]
On the Tibia 10 client players can set up to 36 hotkeys. The function keys (F1, F2, F3, ..., F12) are the primary hotkeys, the secondary hotkeys are activated with ⇧ Shift followed by the function keys, and the tertiary hotkeys are activated with Ctrl followed by the function keys.
In Updates/10.55 a feature was added to allow players to set hotkey presets, allowing automatic changing of hotkey sets.
Flash Client[]
On the Flash Client players can arbitrarily set up their own hotkeys. The Flash Client hotkey setup has an internal spellbook that allows you to select the spell to cast, but it is no different than actually casting the spells (you can set the string exura gran instead of setting the spell).
Tricks[]
- Players can quickly find the total amount of an item they possess by adding a hotkey to a countable item and using it. For example many players hotkey Gold Coins so they can use the hotkey and quickly tell how many gold coins are in their backpack. Note that if the item has an effect when used, one of the item will be used in the process.
- Players can find the internal ID of an item by hotkeying it and searching the Tibia.cfg (Tibia 10) or Clientoptions.json (Tibia 11) file for the added hotkey.
- In extension of finding item IDs, players can use hotkeys to distinguish versions of items, for example Heavily Rusted Armor from Slightly Rusted Armor. The only other way to achieve this is by using the Market.
- You can add the desired actions to Action Buttons and then assign hotkeys to them, while also keeping other useful actions on unassigned buttons. Then, if you need to quickly switch a hotkey (e.g. from Avalanche Rune to Great Fireball Rune), you can do it quickly without opening any dialog in your screen.

Hotkey Template[]
Below is a template that you can print, cut-out and place above your keyboard as a quick reference. It has places for you to write in the hotkey assignments you have. NOTE: Be sure to print it in "landscape" instead of "portrait", or you will not print the entire table.
If you are having trouble finding places to fit all of your hotkeys, the different vocation pages (Druid, Sorcerer, Knight, Paladin) have some ideas that might help.
Note: Use the printable version to print it if you wish, since this is only a example on how the hotkey template look like.
