Since this has not been implement for 2 years in the game now, is there any third party way to do it?

Much appreciated!

Macros for 1 key : 1 key are allowed so this should be acceptable if it has a keybind in the game at least and your keyboard/mouse software supports toggles.

I’m using a Corsair K70… which doesn’t have dedicated macro buttons :/ I looked if I could get the utility to do it, but there are none for the K70. It just has firmware updates on the official website.

If I understand correctly (and correct me if I’m wrong), you’re looking for a single key to support the functions of both CTRL and ALT at the same time?

If this is the case, it will not be supported by ANet, since they expect you to adhere strictly to a 1 button = 1 action key binding rule.

Technically speaking the Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Windows keys are Modifiers. Modifiers adjust the actual keys to output a different character code.

It’s up to Anet if they see it that way though and all you can do is ask even though there is no way they could find out if your hand was doing it or a piece of 3rd party software was holding those keys down.

I agree that the toggle option should be available for that functionality, my pinky hurts sometimes after long gaming sessions because of this.

Turn of all player names in options, then hold L-Ctrl to show all player names. It’s not a toggle but it works well. (I only have team/ally player names off and keep enemy names on, this allows me to constantly keep an eye on my enemy/targets (especially in WvW) and I occasionally hit/hold the l-ctrl to see where my allies are) But a toggle would be nice.

I don’t think changing ctrl and alt would be breaking the rules as long as each key is still just for that one thing but this can lead to some undesirable behaviors. If you have ctrl and alt down and you decided to press tab it will probably not do what you want.
