I was wondering if there is a possibility to bind certain skills to hotkeys. Especially things like switch weapon or instant passive spells that have to be activated in every encounter (things that aren't situational) would be much less tedious with hotkeys.

yes you can

 

See:

Pillars of Eternity Keyboard Controls, bottom of page

 

Basically just hover on the ability and press a key

 

 

For example bind your fighter's "knock down" ability to "Q" or some other key

 

And choose the wizard and you can also bind one of his abilities to "Q"

 

So when your fighter is selected and you press Q it will do the knock down, and if wizard is selected he will do magic missile or whatever you assigned

 

hope this helped

Thanks, I didn't know that. However, it doesn't seem to work with the weapon switch button. Is there any way to mape the primary and/or secondary weapon?
