Get the old key map back!!

[Guest DarthMaulUK]

found this on the forums. Should be very useful and take 5 minutes

 

 

 

 

For those who are accustomed to the classic SWG keymap and like to chat without pressing the enter key first, it is possible to get very close to the old controls.

 

After getting thoroughly sick of doing the "Crazed Crackhead" interpretive dance every time I try to chat with someone, and getting sick of hunting for the 1-= keys that now refer to the hotbar slots, I decided to create a custom keymap. I was pleased to find I could almost perfectly replicate the old keymap I am accustomed to.

 

Several people have told me that they hate the new keymap, so I figured I would make a post to describe how to get the old one back.

 

 

Step 1: Interface

Open the Options menu by pressing 'o' then select the "Interface" tab. There are two default options here that need to change:

Check the box that reads "Allow Overhead Map Rotation"

Uncheck the box that reads "Chat Bar Fades Out"

 

 

Step 2: The Keymap

Click the "Keymap" tab. A new window will open. At the top of the window select the "all" tab. There are quite a few changes to make to the keymap, and I will list them all below.

 

Commands and Bindings listed in yellow need to be changed.

 

Commands and Bindings listed in red need to be cleared, but do not get a new binding.

 

Commands and Bindings listed in green do not need to be changed.

 

Click on the item name in the left "Command" column to select it (these names are shown in the left-hand column below).

 

Click the "Clear Binding" button to delete a current binding.

Click "Rebind" button and specify the new binding. If you see a message telling you that your new binding conflicts with an existing binding and asking if you want to overwrite it, click "Yes".

 

 

The final bindings are as follows:
