Keybinding tip(s) requested

[kbulgrien]

I have so far been unable to make a bind that fires a rod so it does not hit me. I only recently learned how to guarantee apply/unapply via bindings (-u / -a) to insure access to rod of word of recall / rod of heal:

apply -u rod of word of recall; apply -a rod of word of recall; fire stay; fire_stop; apply -u rod of word of recall

I tried this with a rod of firebolt, for example:

apply -a rod of firebolt; fire; fire_stop; apply -u rod of firebolt

Or, even though it seems ridiculous to have to specify a direction:

apply -a rod of firebolt; fire northwest; fire_stop; apply -u rod of firebolt

Any clues? Mayy it would be good to set up a keybind tips area on the wiki?

Firing a rod in a keybind is...

Fire once in a specified direction:

apply -a rod of heal; stay f; apply -u rod of heal
apply -a rod of firebolt; north f; apply -u rod of firebolt
apply -a rod of firebolt; fire 1; fire_stop; apply -u rod of firebolt

Fire continuously in a direction until <fire> <direction> pressed or until fire_stop:

apply -a rod of firebolt; fire 1; apply -u rod of firebolt
apply -a rod of minor healing; fire 0; apply -u rod of minor healing

No clue how to fire a rod in the direction you are facing. It may not be possible?
