Empty Keys
« on: January 15, 2011, 04:30:33 am »
It seems like almost every key does something. What keys are empty? I am looking for good ones to bind to media player controls & ventrilo. Any suggestions would be helpful. I guess I could print out a keyboard map and check off the ones from the manual...

"G" and "H" are per default unbound. I use them for Hybrid galaxy filters. Also most modifier ++ button are free.

G -> groupmove (perhaps you can still bind others things to it but I doubt both will work properly)
H -> home in on your units (seems to zoom in on your CC)

Ah, I was referring to the galaxy map, where they are unbound.

Some of the F buttons are unbound during normal play.  I also use the fourth and fifth buttons of my mouse for a lot of such things.

Thanks for the ideas! And for the record, I do like the game music. I need to go for something different after so many hours, though. I can't even listen to my favorite records twice in the same day.

Sure thing!  And, yes, I'm the same way when it comes to music.

I use mouse buttons usually.
