Toggle TAB

Maxbuu

There is some way to toggle the TAB function on BG:EE? it Would be nice, because I miss a lot of chests by forgetting to press it :P

Tape it down?

I wonder if you could bind it to the Caps-Lock key and do it that way...

Just make an Autohotkey script. http://www.autohotkey.com/

Put this into the script file:

NumPad1::Send, {TAB Down}
NumPad1 UP::Send {TAB UP}


When the script is running your NumPad1 key will turn into a TAB-lock key. (Make sure your numpad is on)

Wow... Just wow...
I can't believe people have problems with THAT.

In original BG1 you had no TAB. Only real men could find treasures!

Jeah.. back then finding the Ankheg plate in Nashkel was really something!

Pretty sure that is not going to work as a toggle.
Once you release NP1 it will give the command to release Tab
What you want to use is:

Numpad1::
if GetKeyState("Tab")
	Send {Tab UP}
else
	Send {Tab DOWN}
return

However seemed to work so so after zoning. (I however only tested it between Candlekeep and the Candlekeep Inn)

Wow.. thank you guys!

I'm pretty sure you always had tab.

Almost positive, because I was using it to find treasure the wimpy way in IWD

Nope, in BG1 there was no way to highlight containers.

The Tab function wasn't added until the ToB expansion pack, in the vanilla games.

I got a way to bug the game and toggle the tab. Hold the TAB and then press the windows button, release the tab and go back to the game. Done

This happened to me by accident.

I am Ramaster and I approve of this solution!

I remember original BG. I remember mousing over literally every square pixel.

I do not miss it.

Tab forever!
