Keybind Shortcuts

Keybind shortcuts

A keybind shortcut binds a key — optionally with Ctrl, Shift or Alt — to a sequence of commands or chat messages, each with its own delay. One key for "warp, then party chat that you have arrived"; one key for the three commands you always run after a dungeon.

This is a Hex feature with its own editor. It is not the same thing as Hex's own keys in Minecraft's Controls screen.

Opening the editor

Any of:

• /hexa keybinds
• The Open Hex Keybinds key, bound under Options → Controls → Hex (unbound by default)
• The link from the config menu

Building a shortcut

1. Add a keybind and press the key combination you want. Modifiers are part of the combo, so Ctrl+G and G are different shortcuts and can coexist.
2. Add actions. Each action is a line to send — a command such as /warp dungeon_hub, or a plain chat message.
3. Give each action a delay, so the sequence paces itself instead of firing everything in one tick. Hypixel drops commands sent too quickly; the delay is what makes a multi-command shortcut actually work.

The command inputs offer chat-style tab-completion, so you can write a command in the editor the same way you would write it in chat.

What it does not do

• It sends what you told it to, when you press the key. Nothing runs on a timer, on a trigger, or while you are away — this is a macro key, not automation. If you want something to happen in response to an event, that is what Reminders are for, and they tell you rather than acting for you.
• It does not chain into itself. A shortcut sends chat lines; it cannot press another shortcut's key.

Storage

Shortcuts live in config/hex/keybinds.json and travel with a config profile, so a profile can carry a different set of shortcuts for a different activity.
