How do you map your keys?

Currently I have
movement mapped to ESDF,
right click as attack,
quick slots (those things at the top of your screen) to ZXCV,
Equipment and Arsenal to W and R respectively,
Shield Spacebar.

I like my setup except for the quickslots. I'm not quite sure where to put those since I don't like the default 1234 keys, and there's not quite enough room on my keyboard elsewhere. Suggestions?

How do you guys map your keys?

Updated: I recently changed Equip and Arsenal to C and V, and changed my quickslots to QWRT. Have yet to try them out because of energy being used in crafting, but they should work nicely.

WASD movement, right-click to attack, left-click to shield, scroll wheel to change weapons, and 1234 quickslots. I'm not happy with the quickslots either but I don't know where else to put them.

WASD movement
Left click to attack, Right click to move forward (just in case I get lazy).
Left shift to shield.

If I use a tablet (lol), I switch left/right click, because I'd rather attack using a side button on my pen than by pressing down.

WASD for movement.
Shield is spacebar.
Attack is right click.
Auto-target is left click. I find it to be extremely useful for weapons that have a lot of movement... such as the Cutter and Flourish lines.
Weapon swap is scroll wheel.

Lol, I am not cheating. :p

If you go under controls there is a button for auto-target (I think it is originally keyed to shift). It is separate from the auto-target junk option. It only auto-targets when the button is held down... assuming you're aiming towards an enemy of course. How do you guarantee you don't miss with a charged Flourish attack? AUTO-TARGET!!!! :D

Q23E

WASD for move, Left click attack, right click shield.
I use Q23E for my quickslots and normally make sure I move my healing pills (or whatever is important) to the Q or E slots.
I use shift for auto target.

Equipment and Arsenal to W and R respectively.

Since these are unnecessary to access quickly while dungeoning, why not put them elsewhere and make your quickslots q,w,r,t?

Logitech Dual Action gamepad:

Direction pad to both move and face.
Left thumbstick to just face without also moving.
Right thumbstick to move the mouse pointer.
Button 2 to attack
Button 3 to shield
Button 1 for next weapon
Button 4 for previous weapon
Buttons 5-8 for vials

Keyboard+mouse controls don't work very well in this game.

Wow, nobody does what I do. I use X as shield, Z as attack, and move with me mouse. When using a gun I'll switch to WASD and right click. I switch weps with the space bar.

I tried the xbox controller

I really like the 360 gamepad but the thing that killed it was that the triggers are registered as "axis" and not "buttons", so i couldnt shield cancel or prep teh charge while shield. That killed it for me, so i went back to kb/m

And I have no idea why anyone would use x for shield when is probably the most important thing you'll be doing other that evading. Now I use wasd for movement, spacebar is shield (it feels natural), left click action and right click change weopons. I change alot as I like to gun at distance, freeze crowds and then go in close with the sword. I never like the scroll wheel as too many times I would "swing" and turns out i had accidentally chosen my bomb *slap*

Attack: right click
Shield: middle click
Quick Slots: 1234(I'm fine with it like this)
Switch Weapons: space bar

Your probably wondering why I don't Switch Weaps as mouse wheel(I do have one), it's cause the mouse well on my mouse is messed up. I also find myself shielding a lot, so I like to be able to do it quickly, which is why I have it mapped as middle click.

quickslots 2, 3, 4: mouse click :/

Gonna get a Logitech G13 gameboard when I can afford it, so I can do more things like have fast access to all 4 quickslots, window hotkeys, commands, etc. (I realize a typical keyboard would work for this but I can never get comfortable with WASD, and the G13 has an analog :P)

WASD = Movement Space/Scroll

WASD = Movement
Space/Scroll Bar = Weapon switching (I tend not to use the mouse, since it's inconvenient)
Mouse1 = Attack
Mouse2 = Defend

Everything else is default, although I'd like to make some changes later.

I have shift for block, Q for changing weapons and rest are default. I don't use mousewheel for changing weapons cause it doesn't have "clicks" so just barely tapping the wheel will switch through 2+ weapons.

ASDW for movement, left click

ASDW for movement, left click for attack, right click for defend, mouse wheel or spacebar to switch weapons. I've been clicking for quickslots because I just can't get used to 1234 but upon reading this thread I've switched them to ERFG so I'll see how that goes. Heal is always #1 and status is always #4 so that's all I really need to remember.

Gamepads ftw

360 controller (sometimes PS3 controller but mapping is equivalent):

Movement: Left stick
Facing: Left stick and right stick (if I bring a gun, and this is rare, unmap the left stick)
Action: X and Right Trigger (depending on which weapon I use)
Blocking: Left Trigger
Next Weapon: Y
Quick slots: A, B, Left Bumper, Right Bumper

I could probably be more efficient by setting previous weapon to X and purely using the trigger for attacks, but until I get a fourth weapon slot and put a gun in it this is fine.

Melee (close-ranged): -Arrow

Melee (close-ranged):
-Arrow Keys = movement
-Z = attack (auto)
-X = defend
-1,2,3,4 = quickslots
-Spacebar = weapon switch

Projectile (long/mid-ranged):
-WASD = movement
-Right mouse = attack/shoot (auto, but considering to change this)
-Left mouse = defend
-1,2,3,4 = quickslots
-Spacebar = weapon switch (mouse wheel is broken)

Basically default with one change made to it.
I'm pretty happy with it too. I make the transition from melee to projectile very well. I hardly ever die, except when I'm in PuG's.
Also, most of the time, I use charge attacks in melee's so the auto-target doesn't affect me very much.
