Being able to key bind the space bar will make our life easier in the field of justice

Currently to use smart cast you must enable all your spells (for example to aim with your Q just aim your mouse at the location and press Q) - this is what I currently use. However sometime it's a must to be able to see the range of your spell.

There is currently two option available; 1) enable the range indicator by holding the spell button and release to activate spell - however this method is not the best because sometime if you "spam (and not holding it)" the button the spell will think you're holding and simply won't go of.

  1. the second method which I think pro players use is the normal cast (aim with mouse and click with mouse at the location) and to use smartcast they use SHIFT key for example shift + Q will use smartcast aiming.

The problem with shift is that some people fingers are too small or in the field of justice under pressure are not able to press it properly. Therefore I think that being able to key bind space bar would be a good idea because it's much bigger and easier to press. Currently space bar is assigned to the camera but I would like to use shift for the camera and space bar for smart cast.

Options to do with space bar 1) use it like shift - so holding space bar + Q = smart cast of the spell 2) holding space bar will show the range indicator and allow the usage of the mouse to use spells.

Thank you for reading and if you have any suggestion, improvement or feedback on this post feel free to post them down below and I'll update this post. Bellow I created a poll regarding the key binding option

You are able to keybind the spacebar. I have Spacebar bound to my Item slot originally bound to 7. I use free cammera at all times, so what I lose is the ability to quickly reposition the camera to my champ, but I don't much care.

Key binding space bar is possible indeed but we currently can't key bind it for smart casting or to show the range indicator... if we can then I don't know how.

Oh. So you mean bind it as a 'modifier' button like Alt or Shift. I didn't realize the game treated that binding differently. That's the only keybind I've messed with so I don't have much experience in thoe menus. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

No wonder why I can't smart cast only certain skills...

You could also re-bind all the keys. I do that, personally.

Q and E are Summoner Spells, bound to smartcast.

A - S - D - W are my Q - W - E - R, bound to self/smartcast.

Z - X - C - F are also my Q - W - E - R, bound to normal cast.

R is Recall.

It gives me access to every casting method I might need with no more than a single finger movement, and has proven pretty reliable...at least for me.

I'm a lefty (right hand for typing) and I am just now changing over to the number pad for most everything. THIS WAY MY THUMB IS COMFORTABLY RESTING OVER CTRL ALT AND SHIFT so I can do work.

For instance DELETE is one of my quick cast spells, but I also use CTRL + DELETE for my ranger indicator trinket, SHIFT + DELETE for my ranger indicator spell, and ALT + DELETE for leveling up said spell.

No fuss no muss, no awkward finger stretches, maximum functionality.

I would still love this one to have space as a modifier key. Because as a person who does have a small fingers, I just cant use Alt/Shift or Ctrl. Its too uncomfortable. I dont use Space like it should be used, because I dont need it with my playstyle. So I am just using my mouse for lvl uping spells (Any other managing with keys is not possible, its either too uncomfortable or ... I wont be vulgar), a bit unlucky i died 'cause of it or lost kill because of this lot of times. because I didnt lvl uped it fast my spell.
