Hey Jagex! Hope you're having a good day! I had an idea that would help Rs players play OSRS a little bit better.

Add the WASD function in your interface for OSRS so people who wish to use WADS as their main camera angle change instead of the Arrow keys!

hope your having a good day. A-D-S

Quite for the idea! It'd be a lot more comfortable to move the camera around it as well as use F1-F9 keys for shortcuts in the UI to be closer. Although I think either the engine or the UI might limit the possibility there but we'll see what the professional think! :D

Although I'm not sure it will be very popular with the regular players. The Grumpy Estonian

I'm looking for this too.
It's available as a plugin on RuneLite.

I really want this on the Steam client. Not only because I think it's more convenient to pan the camera with WASD than the arrow keys due to the key placement, but also because while I do pan the camera with middle mouse button occasionally, I don't want to be using it to do it all the time. I want to be able to use both hands while I play and have access to both camera rotation and F-keys without having to move my hands too much. Which would be solved by making WASD keys able to do that. Making it so that you need to press enter or another key in order to type normally would solve concerns related to this layout messing up typing in the game.

And also, I'd really like the option to rebind 1234567890 through the game menu to the F-keys as I have a mini keyboard with no dedicated F-keys. At the moment I pretty much have to choose between being able to type or being able to use the F-keys if I don't play through RuneLite and use the plugin.

Btw, I'm not suggesting that this should replace the standard layout. I just wish it were offered as an option in the settings. It could be called "mini keyboard compatibility mode" or something like that.

I think this would be helpful for any person playing on a laptop. Note that others in the thread have mentioned that Runelite can do this via a plugin (enables chat by pressing enter, otherwise locked to camera), but I sometimes prefer to use the C++ steam client since it's far more optimized which saps my battery life less and doesn't heat my laptop that much.

And yes, middle click camera movements are superior, but I typically don't have a mouse on hand with my laptop since I think track pads work just fine on the go, and many times I might not have a desk to play on (or limited desk space).

This probably doesn't bother left-handed players, but it would be super nice for right-handed laptop players!

This also probably shouldn't be the default, but a simple check-box options like many of the other QoL options available in the Steam/Mobile clients.

I'm aware its located in the runelite package... I just wish it was installed into the video game like World of warcraft adding Questie or a equivalent so you don't have to use a 3rd party software.. Due respect it is located in the Jagex launcher now... :)

I'm still having issues with my Mac Ventura loading the Clients Java Oracle up to date Version. I read someone on the forms explaining to install an older version to correct this problem.

Sadly I don't think this was the problem I never had a java update when my oldschool launcher went bad. Its due to my computer or Some other technical issue..

I still have access to RuneScape 3 though :) Happy about that... only thing I really enjoy to do on Oldschool that I can't on OSRS would be pk though.. lol A-D-S
