How can I target pets with the keyboard?

Hey guys, I just made my first Mastermind and I was just wondering if there was a way to target pets with the keyboard. I couldn't find it anywhere in the keymapping so i'm assuming there isn't an "official" way, which leads me to assume I need to use keybinding. If this is the case, can someone tell me how i'd go about doing that? I've never needed to use keybinding so I don't know how to do it exactly.

Thanks in advance for any help! I just like using the mouse as little as possible for anything besides menus/NPCs/glowies.

Try using the target_custom_next command - it accepts a number of parameters, including one that targets only your pets. Bind it to a key of your choice - one possible bind would look something like:

/bind t "target_custom_next mypet"

This would allow you to target your nearest pet, then cycle through them by hitting T. You can also include specific names after the my pet parameters if you want to target specific pets.

For more info on the target_custom_next command, check out http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Target_custom_next_%Slash_Command%

I agree with Eric Hough, there are bind commands that can select pets by the order they were summoned 1-6 and by their custom names. This is also included in Sandolphan's guide.

My Macro Management Guide

If you just want to solo on easy and don't care about having complete control then you only need 3 buttons:

/macro bg "petcomall def fol" -This will place you in bodyguard mode which will give you damage mitigation (but you need to get aggro onto yourself)

/macro att "petcomall def att" -This causes all your pets to attack your targeted foe and once it's down they will switch to bg mode

/macro fol "petcomall pas fol" -This will cause all your pets to follow you and ignore all the foes.

Also you may want /macro go "petcomall dis" -This will dismiss all your pets immediately and hopefully stop any unwanted aggro.
