Dark Souls 2 AutoHotKey Setup
 

This might help a fellow mouse and keyboarder someday. AutoHotKey script for Dark Souls 2. As you can see in the script when the game is active the utility sends key commands to the game based on AutoHotKey intercepting all input from mouse and keyboard. It works perfectly in terms of feel. So you use this as a template for your own play style. AutoHotKey is a free download of course.

changes from default mappings in game I made:

• clear all mouse mapping except target lock
• map "confirm" to 'e' along with interact. This is necessary because if you don't use a key to confirm pop up windows your character will take a swing after the you click 'ok' so be careful!
• map item use to 'r'
• map quick slot toggles to 1, 2, 3, 4 like the first game
• map any key conflicts you create to something you'll never use like numbers 7-0 etc

The smiley face below are ':' and 'S' together being misinterpreted.
