Keyboard hotkey binds are saved in eqclient.ini in the *KeyMaps* section. I tend to unbind keys for uncommonly used features that are accessible through the in-game menu.
### Minimal User Interface Changes
My minimal UI is available in this repo as a patch set. Maintaining my custom UI changes as a patch set makes integrating official updates very simple. I like to set the fade transparency level for most windows to 0%. The exceptions are the hotbars, spellbars and chat windows. I tweak the xml files to get those to behave minimally. The goal of my minimal interface is improved immersion.

This is an ideal light text on dark background scheme, so it'll only make sense if you have dark chat windows like I do.
