Can you create custom keybinds for each champ?

I know it's possible to set up customized recommended items for your champs, but I was wondering if there's a way to set up a similar file for your keybinds? Some champs I like to smart cast certain skills and others not so much, and swapping around for each one is kind of a pain at the beginning of the match in SR, particularly if we want to level 1 fight.

"Hey Morg, come help us invade."
"K, just a sec, let me rebind Q and W to smartcast and E back to regular cast."

Yeah, exactly.

Is this possible? If not, is this something you guys think would be useful?

Tossing in an @Brackhar since it seems like his arena of awesomeness.

There's not currently, but it's a good idea. If we ever get around to remaking the options screen I'll bring this up as something to consider doing. Even if we don't create custom keybind support for each champion we could at minimum improve the ease with which people switch smartcast on/off.

there was a really smart idea floating around the forums before of letting people right click abilities to toggle smartcast. that way you didn't have to make a set for each champion and is very flexible in game

I would love to have smartcast turned off for rumble ult and other big range ults without screwing up next game because my ult is on regular cast for my bruiser.

I've actually been developing a mod to support exactly this. There is a definite need I feel to have smartcasting profiles for different champions. If I actually get off my ass and start work on it again, I could probably get it released soon (tm?). Maybe I'll get it out in the next week or two, I intend to call it Smartercast.

Edit: I'll expand on my idea a little.

Originally, I was thinking of modifying the LoL settings INI file depending on which champion you picked. However, this file gets loaded during the load screen (duh?), so you would have to manually use a deploy option every time before the game starts. Instead, I've been working on a dynamically generated autohotkey script with a nice gui frontend that will automatically deploy every game for the champion you selected. I really like the idea of it "just working" without the need to manually kick it off.

Please just give us access to keybinding options in champ select, then we have all the time in the world

EDIT: I mean really, league is literally the only game i've ever played where you can't change game options in the matchmaking client. You can't change video settings, audio settings, keybind settings, ANYTHING unless you are in game. Whats the deal?

Example:

Holding Alt + Shift + (??) = Smart cast On/Off

Example 2

Alt + Shift + E = "E" Smart cast On/Off


maybe..?
