Bind help

Hi,

Seeking a bind that disables caplock and all chat commands. Another that restores them. I'm still hitting caps lock, ~, g, and t, during combat :)

Hi, I bind my movement keys to the caps alternative while using kb+mouse.

W+w = forward
A+a = strafe left

until at least all your movement keys are covered, because then even if you slam on ye olde caps key, its the same thing :)

Caps lock key is a keyboard function, the only way I know that is currently possible is using a 3rd party app, or prizing it off :)

why not just completely move your movement keys off the letters altogether.

I keep my movement keys restricted to the left half of the alphabet part of the keyboard plus the arrow keys and the chat/data logging/misc. keys to the right.

I use , . < and > for channel, sector/mission, guild and group chat respectively.

well, try this.

write an alias to unbind all your chat keys, it would look something like this (i'm doing this at work without access to my wgaf file to see how mine looks. I know it CAN be done, because i have one, but the " and ' marks may not be perfect in the below example. when i get home in.. umm 3 hours.. i'll try to log in and verify the accuracy of this. oh, you'll probably have to add this in the stations.. otherwise pressing the ` (~) key will just open the console while typing. :) ):

/alias chattog unbindchat

/unbindchat "bind ` '' ; bind t '' ; bind T '' ; bind g '' ; bind G '' ; echo chat disabled ; alias chattog rebindchat"

/rebindchat "bind ` consoletoggle ; bind t say_channel ; bind T say_sector ; bind g say_group ; bind G say_guild ; echo chat enabled ; alias chattog unbindchat"

/bind <key of your choice> chattog

Perhaps outside the scope of this thread, but my suggestion is get a gaming input device. My flying improved greatly after moving from a keyboard (where I accidentally hit bunches of wrong buttons, getting killed in the process) to a Nostromo N52 game pad. All the keys are programmable and shiftable, so you never hit the wrong key.

I also have a Razor Diamondback gaming mouse, which I highly recommend.
