Keyboard shortcut conflict

<div class="IPBDescription">Pressing C opens the map but it also chooses Shade hive</div>For a long time as alien commander I was confused as to why I would find that I had accidentally evolved my hive to Shade. Then, I realized that the keyboard shortcut for opening the map © is the same as for evolving shade hive! Therefore, I had been trying to open the map and had been accidentally evolving to shade!

For the benefit of all those who will be similarly confused by the default shortcuts, you should at least consider a different mapping.

    I have my minimap bound to W, so I can never quick hop to the advanced tech menu :( I made a topic a while ago suggesting they remove the toggle-able minimap while commanding but it got little response :s

    Would be nice if commander keys would be customizable just as the ground-player keys, so there wouldn't be issues like this or the (fixed) one where one had to have crouch on Ctrl in order to be able to make groups. So, basically Commander could have separate keybindings.

    And rantology, W for minimap? Wondering the rest of your controls =)

    My movement keys are asdf... d-forward f--backwards a-left s-right. Yes I know I'm weird. It's a funny story.

    Sounds like you re-mapped kinda like hjkl for Vim, except for the left hand.

    In other news, one of my friends is esdf for life.

    Yeah I might try the tab thing. Right now I have the map keyed to B, which makes it kinda weird with the alien evolve ability.

    I also tried keying the map to mouse-3, but for some reason it did not work in commander mode. If you guys were to fix that issue, it would certainly help.

    I use the standard WASD and caps-lock for map. It's right there.

    map is needed so frequently, i actually put it on one of my mouse buttons :D

    it worked for mouse 4 for me, maybe the mousewheel is a special case because it is used for the map-ping?

    but i also got a commander conflicht which i cannot solve by rebinding: german keyboard layouts have y and z exchanged. so to activate something on bottom left corner, i have to press the key between t and u.

    it might still be needed for some people to see the area-names.
