<div class="IPBDescription">Makes playing as a commander much harder</div>Hello!
I play with the arrow keys and use the buttons around them for jumping, crouching, weapon slots etc. So I have binded <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->right CTRL<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b> for crouch and <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->numpad 0<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>, <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->numpad 1<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>, <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->numpad 4<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>, <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->numpad 7<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b> and <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->page down<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b> as for the weapons slots. Thats the setup Iam used to have with all shooter games over the years and it works fine with this as well, except when I try to be a commander.
The problem is that even tho other quick keys work as they should, hotkeying buildings is bit too complicated and using them effectively nearly impossible. If I press <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->left CTRL<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b> + <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->1<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b> nothing happens.
I have to press <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->right CRTL<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b> + <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->numpad 0<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b> to get a building hotkeyed. And of course when I want to select it again I need to press <b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->numpad 0<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b> which is on the other side of the keyboard from the other hotkeys needed for a commander! So if I want to hop into the chair I need to go and change my key bindings and then change them back when I get out of the chair which isn't very convenient.
I see two possible solutions to fix it so binding different keys than default will still make commanding possible the way its meant to be with default setup.
<b>1.)</b> Make it so that changing any key binds doesn't effect the commander key setup
or
<b>2.)</b> Add a possibility to put a secondary key for every button like it is in many other games. That way I could bind <b>CTRL</b> and weapon slots to their default places and still have my own key setup working as I want it to work while not commanding.
Iam no programmer, but I feel like this should be fairly easy to fix and would make my gaming experience much better and others too who uses the arrow keys. :)
Thanks in advance!
