Quick Questions about UI options...

Is their anyway to change the key bindings in PC?

I'm disabled and can not easily Alt+Click for unit info is there anyway to change to say Ctrl+Click or better yet just set that function to one key?

Thank you in advance.

Not sure if it will help you but in the options menu there is an option for the mouse interface - if you set it to "1 button" (ie the good way >_> ) then right clicking on a unit will bring up the unit info panel.

Beakie, many pointer devices with "extra buttons" give you the option to "map" buttons (and even motions) to specific keys or key combinations. So you could set a thumb button, say, to "Ctrl" and then pressing it while clicking = Ctrl+Click. I do this with the stylus on the tablet PC that I use to play PzC (the stylus has a button on the side). Any Logitech pointing device with SetPoint software would have this feature, and other manufacturers do the same thing.

PS. What works for "Ctrl" will also work for "Alt," though of course not on the same button at the same time!

If it's not possible to achieve with the driver of your mouse (or other device you use), it's easy to do with a free program called Autohotkey which, above all things, allows to create custom hotkeys and macros. For example, the following code converts each push of SPACE key into "push down left ALT, click left mouse button, stop pushing left ALT" and works perfectly in Panzer Corps - on Windows XP at least.

Code: Select all

Space::
Send {LAlt Down}
Send {LButton}
Send {LALT UP}
return 

Authotkey can make any key send a single keystroke or a combination of them. I can write the code if you want and even compile it to an executable for you to download - or you can install the program (free and very small in size) and just use the code in it. If you are using a custom pointing device - or even a mouse with more than 2-3 buttons - I can even use your device's buttons, but I would need your participation to find device codes of these buttons (easily done). PM me, if you are interested.

Thanks guys for the quick responses

I do have a Razor Naga gaming Mouse (17 buttons) I was just hoping that there was an Config ini or something that i could just change in PC So, I wouldn't have to make a completely seperate profile on it for one (1) key binding issue all other key bindings in PC are not a problem, using a custom Profile I have made for a variety of different genres... (everything from FPS, Driving/Racing,RTS's Turn Based Strategy etc.).

I would say that 95% of these games allow key rebinding and I'm wondering why PC does not?

@Orlinos: Thank you so very much for your kind offer of help, But, as you can see from above I was just asking if there was a simpler way to do it. Again, Thank You and everyone for their help and input on this matter.
