EDIT TO ADD:
Not to be a jerk, but imagine that, a stickied topic in the Kheldian forums called Kheldian Binds and Strategies. It's right at the top too!
Where to now?
Check out all my guides and fiction pieces on my blog.

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
Amazing! Still, I'll post you an answer. I have 3 text files for Peacebringers and 3 for Warshades, in a folder called 'binds' on my C-drive. They are Very basic - I haven't tried incorporating the cool stuff from Joe's thread, yet.

Since I use the NumPad for Movement and handle attack-button mashing with my left, form-shifting naturally comes from the Shift button. You are free to discover the keys that work best for you.
Be Well!

ahhh imagine this obviously you are being a jerk and liking it and also your bind is way too complicated the bind im looking for is this one and its much easier and to the point...
/bind numpad1 "powexectoggleoff Dark Nova$$powexectoggleoff Black Dwarf$$gototray 2"
/bind numpad2 "powexectoggleon Dark Nova$$gototray 3"
/bind numpad3 "powexectoggleon Black Dwarf$$gototray 4"
and just fyi i seen that bind you put up and didnt want to spend all day typing it..
Not that i want to be a jerk or anything.....
Ignoring the negative in this thread, the added 'complication' of using those bind files makes it much easier for you to do more advanced binding.
Your solution is simple and will work, but I always look upon chances like this as opportunities to learn as much as I can about things.
Personally I ended up using bind files on all my toons (I created a default.txt for all my toons to use, and specific files for the more complex toons), and without going through all the prep work on my Warshade my play experience would be worse for it.
With the bind files you can do things like bind to SHIFT+<KEY> as well as just to <KEY>, allowing more things to be done with the easy to reach keys.

Agree. I started out with simple binds just to get them working and then explored the well-written articles on how to create binds overall and ideas on binds specifically for Kheldians (with some interesting Kheldian tactics!). For me, it's been a gradual process, particularly with my first Kheldian recently having reached 20th level with the new ability to transform into White Dwarf form. Papa's guide on tri-form peacebringers and the links he shared helped me a lot. |

I posted the contents of my 6 text files, Copy-Pasted directly from the files themselves. In order to recreate them, You had only to Copy-Paste each code-block into your own text files. In the end, the only Typing you have to do is < /bindloadfile "c:\binds\pb-human.txt" > which is a LOT less than your three binds. Further, if you'd set things up just like I described, you wouldn't have to type Anything, just a bunch of Copy-Paste, including the final /bind.
As the Princess said, the advantage of using the textfiles is that your actual in-game binding is very simple, the textfiles make editing and tweaking much easier, and they can be as simple or complex as you like. You can swap a whole arsenal of keybinds in and out, remapping a set of keys on the fly, as you switch forms.
My purpose in posting these, was to offer the best, simplest tools I had - I started out my first Kheldian with exactly the three binds you mentioned, but I found them less effective and flexible than I needed. So I upgraded to the textfile method and I've been thoroughly pleased by the results.
Be Well!

One tip I have learned is that on all my none Kheld charactes I have the P key set to re-import my bind file, so I can make whatever changes I like to the files, the just press P and test them out!
I didn't need this for Khelds because I just swapped forms and back, but for my other toons I found it very useful and saved me typing /bindloadfile a fair few times
