Do you use any custom keybinds?
« on: August 25, 2013, 11:22:19 pm »
Do you use any custom keybinds? If so, share them here!

For me, I have:
PushToTalk set to Left Control - Lets me talk without having to move my middle finger away from the WASD keys
Map set to Left Shift - Lets me check the map very easily without having to move my hand

I didn't, but after seeing what you do I will probably have to. At the very least, I'll probably move push-to-talk to Left Shift so that I can continue to move around while talking.

I put my throttle up and down buttons as the side mouse keys instead of on the keyboard (mouse buttons 4 and 5).

My throttle is set to the 1 and 3 keys on the top of my mouse and my tools are set to 4, 5, 6 and 7 on the side.

I Flipped my Aecend and Decend keys. W goes down and S goes up. Having misspent my youth playing flight sims of one kind or another I was a little confused when my airship started rising when I pushed the controller forward (w key) and descended when I pulled back (s key0)

I changed all my piloting controls (ascend/descend/accelerate/deccelerate) so they are on my mouse leaving me one hand free to operate any random keys (helm tools, chat, dismount)
I am left handed so I have always had to come up with moderatly creative keybindings.

If you have a fancy mouse with tons of extra buttons, you probably are very used to remapping keys to it in every game. Unfortunately I have a standard office-style mouse and keyboard. 2 mouse buttons and a scroll wheel. And I cannot push more than 5 or so keys at once, or the keyboard becomes unresponsive.

The following setup works very well for me as a pilot. It requires only a few re-binds to strongly prevent accidentally leaving the hull.  It helps with 'key limit' (pressing too many keys at once) on a standard keyboard. It also makes the map very accessible on the left hand without giving up any mobility. Plus, it means more frantic mouse clicking for the pilot, and everyone knows ... more clicking = more fun.


For pilot:
Throttle up to left mouse
Throttle down right mouse

Global:
Map to Q or ALT

A variant I played around with was "car pedal" style, decelerate on left and accelerate on right. I didn't like it.

But thats it. Makes a world of difference.

Just did a few rebinds after reading this thread.

Throttle up: left mouse
down: right mouse

Going up: Button 4
down: 5

PTT: Q
Enter/Leave: B

Other than that, normal.

I long ago moved from wasd to esdf. Currently considering moving to rdfg, to give even more buttons to the little finger, which is at all times available...

I moved my voice chat button to Left-Shift; it's worked out great, because it lets me move freely while I'm talking. I also put captain chat on Caps Lock, but I haven't played captain since then.
