Citybinder is probably the easiest way to set up speed on demand binds.
I have it set up as a two file rotating bind:
Flight1.txt
numpad0 "powexec_name sprint$$powexec_name hover$$bind_load_file c:\CoH_binds\flight2.txt"
uparrow "+forward$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
leftarrow "+turnleft"
rightarrow "+turnright"
downarrow "+backward$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
space "+up"
x "+down"
Flight2.txt
numpad0 "powexec_name sprint$$powexec_name hover$$bind_load_file c:\CoH_binds\flight1.txt"
uparrow "+forward"
leftarrow "+turnleft"
rightarrow "+turnright"
downarrow "+backward"
space "+up"
The first press (file1) will turn off sprint, turn on hover and toggle to fly when moving forward or back.
The second press (file2) will turn sprint back on and hover/fly off.
There is a caveat.... if you get detoggled, you should be able to get back on track by moving forward or back... but sometimes it doesn't reset. It may take a few extra presses to reset the binds properly.
Overall, though... I really love this set of binds.

CityBinder is wonderful -- I use it on all my characters. Unfortunately, it is badly out of date, and Monorail left the game a while ago. It is still very usable, but it does not have the newer powersets build in . . . you'll have to substitute the names for the powers in the newer sets. But it is easy to do.|

The Speed-on-Demand binds will do exactly what the OP wants. Just pick a key for the start/stop toggle (I use H). One problem: Every now and then, most often when zoning, the SoD binds get messed up, and you end up in a perma-forward mode where the only way to stop is to press and hold the backwards ("s") key. CityBinder has a quick built-in fix -- just press Ctrl-R to reset the binds. I think it is a minor inconvenience, but a few folks feel that this makes the SoD binds unusable.
CityBinder also has an easy set-up for buffing binds. On Storm Characters, I have O2 Boost set up so that I only have to press the number pad key for each of the teammates according to the team list. I do the same thing for Speed Boost on Kinetics characters, but you can set up CityBinder to cast ID with a second press of the same key.

You mentioned using the keypad to 02 Boost teammates. These are the binds that I use, with keypad number 9 hitting my pet:
/bind NUMPAD1 "+ $$teamselect 1$$powexec_name O2 Boost"
/bind NUMPAD2 "+ $$teamselect 2$$powexec_name O2 Boost"
/bind NUMPAD3 "+ $$teamselect 3$$powexec_name O2 Boost"
/bind NUMPAD4 "+ $$teamselect 4$$powexec_name O2 Boost"
/bind NUMPAD5 "+ $$teamselect 5$$powexec_name O2 Boost"
/bind NUMPAD6 "+ $$teamselect 6$$powexec_name O2 Boost"
/bind NUMPAD7 "+ $$teamselect 7$$powexec_name O2 Boost"
/bind NUMPAD8 "+ $$teamselect 8$$powexec_name O2 Boost"
/bind NUMPAD9 "+ $$pet_select 0$$powexec_name O2 Boost"
This can easily be adapted for use with Speed Boost.

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
I always use the 'F' key for fly..and you can toggle between the two with this bind
but subtitute the F with a numpad key, or anyone you wish.
/bind F "powexec_name Fly$$powexec_name Hover"

I have a slightly updated version of citybinder (everything up to 1/15/09)
You can download it here.
Install Citybinder then extract these file into the citybinder directory and over-write the files.

Wow!! Thank you very much!! I didn't know it existed. I wish someone with the ability to do such things would pick up the updates, but this makes life much easier. |

I installed this update, and it appears to work with most of the newer powersets.

Thanks for the help everyone, I've downloaded citybinder and I'm toying with that now for other things, very helpful!
I've decided to go with Healix's bind, it's not auto, but it is simple and easy to use. I appreciate everyone's time.
Hi, I have a Storm/Psi Defender named Skyway who is a perma-flight style hero.
I had heard mention on the boards a couple of times of a Hover/Flight bind that would toggle on Flight whenever you were moving forward, then toggle Hover when stopped to save Endurance. This sounds like a pretty easy way for an always in flight hero to get around.
Is anyone familiar with the bind and can help me out? I'm sure this has been posted before but my search-fu is weak
Thanks in advance for the help.
PS - Bonus question. I like using O2 Boost to help with some minor healing and stuns, does anyone use a bind for making using that a little easier? Right now I click on the person's name in the team window that needs it and I hit whatever number O2 Boost is in my power tray. This works OK but I feel like there's probably a better way.
