Monk hotkeys - Guild Wars Forums

I'm sure it's dependent on individual preferences, but I was wondering if most monks preferred to hotkey selection of each of their party members or clicked on the bar instead.
I've been trying to set up comfortable hotkeys for each party member, but that has proven to be very tedious work, although I'm sure I can get used to it after some practice. I've recently tried extending the size of the party bar and dragging it below right below my toon on the screen, so I could reach it more easily. I found this to be pretty efficient, but I figured most experienced monks out there would probably know better.

I prefer to click on the party members window. I have tried in the past to use the keyboard for party selection but it involved me changing my entire setup and it was too difficult for me to adjust to.

I too click in the Party box to select players when I Monk (which I don't do much any more). I use direct keys (1, 2, 3, etc.) to select the spells.
I tried assigning keys to the various party slots, but it got a bit awkward and clicking turned out to be easier & faster for me.

Party Box as well, for me with my other hand on 1-4 and WASD. I tried assigning hotkeys for party selection on my numpad before, but I found it awkward when I had to kite.
