Instant Sign Casting
Witcher 2 style sign casting tweak Presets and a DIY instruction Tested in 1. 22/1. 24Description:
Not really a mod, just a quick ghetto ini tweak that makes select sign button not only select, but also instantly cast the selected sign. Alternate sign modes (holding the button down) work too. I will provide two example presets and an instruction on how to add instant casting to your own keybinds. Presets are compatible with any mods that don't overwrite the input.settings file, and the DIY instruction should not conflict with any mods, expansions should work now too. Check video section for the tweak demonstrations.
Presets: Preset controls:
Example presets only add quick cast to 1-5 keys for tweaked preset and to 3-7 for vanilla preset, no other changes. You can safely rearrange sign keys and change sword binds, but changing Cast Sign key (default Q) will cancel the tweak.
Tweaked: 1 - Yrden cast 2 - Quen cast 3 - Igni cast 4 - Axii cast 5 - Aard cast 6 - steel sword 7 - silver sword Rest is default.
Vanilla preset (with quick cast only added, no other changes): 1 - steel sword 2 - silver sword 3 - Aard cast 4 - Yrden cast 5 - Igni cast 6 - Quen cast 7 - Axii cast Rest is default.
Installing presets:
[]Go to your Documents/The Witcher 3 folder []IMPORTANT (if you don't want to lose your current binds): Back up your input.settings: rename input.settings file to input.settings1[size

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 2,156 endorsements and 49k downloads.
- Solves a real pain point—no more fumbling through menus mid-fight.
- Lightweight tweak that changes core feel without overhauling the game.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—may be outdated for current game versions.
- One-button casting might feel too simplistic for players who like the radial menu's precision.
For Witcher 3 players who hate the radial menu and want faster, more fluid combat. Perfect for action-oriented builds that rely on frequent sign switching. Skip if you prefer the vanilla menu or want more complex sign mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a script merger or compatibility patch with other gameplay mods.
- Test the keybinding in a low-stakes fight to get used to the new casting flow.
- If you're on the next-gen update, verify the mod still works—it's from 2016.
