Seperate Config File Containing Commander Bindings

I have an idea for a program that will create a config file for you and let you assign certain keys to certain commands. It would be fairly simple to program but the only thing I need to know is what each hotkey is, for example the hotkeys that switch between menus and the hotkeys that drop ammo and guns. If someone can provide me with this info, I will get working on a program right away, and probably have it done within 2 weeks.

An example of the script you're talking about is in my signature.

eg: You "select" which race/role you are (human commander/marine, alien skulk/onos/etc.) and then the computer executes a *.cfg file with the proper commands in it. You could make a program to generate these config files.
The files that would then be generated in the NS directory would look something like, "commander.cfg", "marine.cfg", "onos.cfg" etc.
To "Select" your race all that is needed is a toggle command or a menu system, either of which aren't that difficult to create.

Ah, you *touch* on the same issues there othell, and my apologies for not seeing that thread (I'm relatively new to this forum).
But my real suggestion here is that if Ghoststalker is writing an autobinding script, he might as well add support for every race/role. Because otherwise it's just an external duplication of the "Controls" menu.
