Does anyone know if this is possible in some way to do with just the keyboard, instead of having to use the mouse to click the fiddly little arrow at the top of the utility skills?
I would love to just be able to toggle 1 or 2 slot skills with just a keystroke, between a combat set of skills and a mobility set say, for my necro in particular (switching in & out of Locust Signet & Spectral Walk). Obviously, this would only work out of combat, as per the current limitation. I’m really surprised you can’t just mouse-over any slot skill and allocate a key to it. Even if I had to commit 1 key per slot skill (rather than a simple toggle between 2 specs), it would be so much better than having to use the mouse.

My goodness, on page 5 & almost 50 views after less than a day & not a single response. So I take it that’s a NO then…?

+1 to the idea of making a second set of utility skills and assign a key to switch between them, like we do with the weapons. Only for out of combat situations, of course.

To be sure! I’d be happy even with having to have 2 keys per slot to toggle, but 1 would be better. Being able to define & group several ‘slot skill groups’ & toggle between them with just a single keystroke would be heaven. No idea why ANet overlooked this considering the weapon swapping is right there to the left, just begging the utility skills to have the same flexibility.

Actually, call me greedy, but I’d like to see traits included in the ‘slot group’ quick toggle as well. I’m now swapping between Vampiric Master & Quickening Thirst all the time for the same reasons & it gets tedious with that little arrow, not to even mention getting into the whole char/trait screen every time!
