How to Change the GS Auto Clicker Hotkey (F8) to Any Key
The hotkey is how you start and stop GS Auto Clicker — F8 by default. Change it when F8 is already used by your game, when your laptop hides F-keys behind Fn, or when you want start/stop on a mouse-reachable key. It takes ten seconds.
How to rebind the hotkey
- Open GS Auto Clicker. On the main window, click the hotkey button — the button that shows the current key (“F8” by default, next to the “Press F8 to Click” label).
- The program waits for your next key press. Press the key (or combination it accepts) that you want to use.
- The button now shows your key. Test it: hover over a blank area and press it — clicking starts; press again — clicking stops.
Which key should you pick?
| Choice | Why | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| F6 / F9 | Close to F8’s feel, rarely bound in games | OP Auto Clicker uses F6 — irrelevant unless you run both |
| A numpad key | Easy to hit without looking | Needs NumLock state awareness on some keyboards |
| Scroll Lock / Pause | Almost never used by games or Windows | Missing on many laptop keyboards |
| A letter key | Convenient in desktop work | Will fire while you type — avoid for office automation |
Hotkey still not responding?
- In a game: the game probably runs with higher privileges. Run GS Auto Clicker as administrator — full diagnosis in F8 hotkey not working.
- Key is captured by another app: screen recorders, overlays (Discord, GeForce Experience) and other clickers grab global hotkeys. Close the rival app or pick another key.
- Laptop Fn behavior: if your F-keys default to media functions, either hold Fn or change the BIOS/UEFI “Action Keys” setting — or simply rebind to a non-F key as above.
