STAR WARS: The Old Republic Keyboard Controls
BioWare's Star Wars MMO puts a fully voiced class story on top of classic hotbar combat, so most of the game happens between WASD and the number row. These are the default PC keys from the official SWTOR game manual: movement and strafing, the twelve main quickbar slots, your companion's ability bar, and the keys that open the character, inventory, mission log, map and guild windows.
