Can I somehow use QWER as smartcast and put shift+QWER to normal cast?

Question

I use smartcast, but sometimes I would like to see the spell ranges etc.

Can I somehow use QWER as smartcast and put shift+QWER to normal cast?

Answer 1

TL;DR No, you can't unless you modify a file. [Scroll to the Bottom!]

Here is me setting Smart Cast Spell 1,2,3, and 4 as Q,W,E, and R, respectively.

Now when I try to set Cast Spell 1,2,3,and 4 as [Shift]Q, [Shift]W, [Shift]E, and [Shift]R, this is the message I get.

Cast Spell ( ) cannot be bound as specified.

Key Bindings seems to only accept numbers and letters, in addition to some symbols.

So it seems there's actually a way to switch smartcast and normal cast. Found this from http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/o09bn/modify_smartcast_to_qwer_and_normal_cast_to/

• Note: For this to work, you must have modified your key bindings in the past.

• Go to C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\Config (Unless you have saved League of Legends in a different file)

• Erase what you see in "Config" and paste in the following

  evtCastSpell1=[Shift][q]
  evtCastSpell2=[Shift][w]
  evtCastSpell3=[Shift][e]
  evtCastSpell4=[Shift][r]
  evtCastAvatarSpell1=[Shift][d]
  evtCastAvatarSpell2=[Shift][f]
  evtSmartCastSpell1=[q]
  evtSmartCastSpell2=[w]
  evtSmartCastSpell3=[e]
  evtSmartCastSpell4=[r]
  evtSmartCastAvatarSpell1=[d]
  evtSmartCastAvatarSpell2=[f]
  

• Test it out in a custom game before heading to normals/ranked with your new settings. If you don't want to smartcast your 'AvatarSpells' or Summoner Spells, rather, don't paste in the last two lines.

You can rebind the spell cast keys exactly like you are requesting in the keybind
