    Default Selecting farthest target

    Currently its possible to select the clostest target via tab which is great for melees. However, ranged players need the ability to select the farthest target within their visual range.

    Would this be possible to add in-game to the UI or bound keys?

    Thanks in advance!

    Try alt-Tab.

    A single key solution is what's needed... short of programing macros into a keyboard this is the ine solution that would benefit all users.

    Either there's something odd about US keyboards, or you trollin' bro

    Try shift Tab instead. Tab is 'move to next field' in a database (which is why its so common as 'next thing' in computer games), shift-tab is just going in the reverse order.

    This already exists, it's just not well known I guess, because it's anything but obvious.

    1. Go to your key bindings and find "Select Previous Target" (in standard key bindings this is not bound to any key if I remember correctly). Bind it to a key.
    2. Double tapping that key will select the farthest target.
