<div class="IPBDescription">(not a balance issue)</div> <b>WHY</b> were all of the commander shortcut keys taken out of the key select menu? I mean I can understand why health and ammo was taken out, that's fare enough, I can cope with that... But the 4 menus, res towers, turrets, that stuff... Why did the bind keys have to go away? My comming sucks now that I just can't press a button for a menu.

    Look in your config.cfg for this line:

    <b>cl_cmhotkeys "qwerasdfzxcv" </b>

    These are your commander hotkeys - three rows of 4 keys
    QWER
    ASDF
    ZXCV

    Change them to what you want by altering the "value" in quotes.

    It'll simply take some getting use to, that's all. I think it's very slick, though sometimes you forget that you have to deselect something before the top row of buttons will work again.

    I made a script like this for 1.04 using the numpad, it looked pretty snazzy but with the new fourth menu its going to be hard to reassign to those keys so that it works conviniently.

    I got to that line in the file but this is where I'm a little confused... Can I do something like make jkl; the command menus from left to right? Make u a turret? Make . a resource tower?

    EDIT: Never mind, figured it out.

    Xzilen, the Comm interface is a 3x4 grid of buttons at the bottom of his screen - three buttons down, four buttons across.

    These 12 buttons correspond to the twelve keys on the left side of your keyboard:

    Q W E R
    A S D F
    Z X C V

    So "Q" is your Build menu, "W" is your Advanced menu, etc.

    In your config file, cl_cmhotkeys = "qwerasdfzxcv". Those are the same 12 keys laid out one after another. If you want to change them, simply change the values of those 12 letters.
