Jazzlok Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Hey everyone, I was hoping you could help me out. As usual, I'm playing the game and all of my regular key bindings begin to fill up. Everything was going fine, I was loving the game, but needed more key bindings, so I decided to try and use the ` key (the key next to the number 1 and TAB keys on most QWERTY keyboards). I've used this button as a hotkey in so many games before, as I'm sure many of you have, but for some reason the game isn't registering it? At first I blamed the keyboard, but as you can see the button works fine out of game (`````````````````````````````). If it's bound to something else already I've yet to work it out, when trying to bind it I can press the button as many times as I like but the game will still ask me to select a key. There's probably some simple explanation for this, but for the life of me I've spent 30 minutes searching through forum posts, blogs and tech support websites to discover the problem and I can't. Any ideas? Much appreciated, I need it as my stealth button on my Operative Notice: This is on a BRITISH keyboard.

ToliverGrey Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It is bound to the bug ticket reporting system and cannot currently be unbound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuanceNW Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It's already bound, unbind the tilde ~ from it's default mapping then map it to your action (or vent like I do and yes it works fine.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparckus Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Just to clarify I'm using a British keyboard and my \ key next to left shift opens the ticket window. The ` key next to 1 and above tab does nothing. Edited January 7, 2012 by Sparckus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nylyan Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Where is this key located on an english keyboard anyway? It's located almost directly above enter for me, so I can't see why anyone would ever use this bind, on a swedish keyboard, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikules Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 BioWare also took over the "\" key in the game, too. Players can 'not' bind the backslash key. It pulls up the ticket system. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE CTRL BUG IN THE GAME! ARGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashu-ri Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It is bound to the bug ticket reporting system and cannot currently be unbound. On mine, the \ key is bound to that....which I'm accustomed to using for selcted myself, and it aggravates me to no end that one of my consistent keybindings has to be changed because of this.

Jazzlok Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Silly BioWare stealing our key bindings ^^ Thanks for the replies everyone, I'll try to work something out (I'm on a British keyboard so the backslash is also my bug ticket system, so one of the workarounds suggested should help).

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE CTRL BUG IN THE GAME! ARGH! You mean the one where if you Ctrl + 1, 2 or 3 or anynumber quickly your sound turns off or your character will autorun with no way to stop it?

Achromatis Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) You mean the ~ key to the left of "1"? Im able to rebind it just fine, Ive got it set to Autorun. Edit: And what CTRL bug lol? I use CTRL1-3 all the time for companion control and Ive never had it make me autorun or mess up my sound.

Uhuru Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I have mine bound for activating talk in mumble. Nothing else happens when I push it so I have not noticed any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raurth Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 This, so many times this. Please allow those of us using proper keyboards (That's UK English for you philistines out there) to bind the ` key. It's a keybinding I have always used. Additionally, get rid of the ticket button. It's not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not needed. This. For people from the US the post stated this is on UK keyboards, ` is to the left of 1 and is not bindable, also \ is to the left of z and is hardcoded to tickets. This is on UK keyboards. Both really need to be changed. I've died too many times looking at a customer support ticket window in front of my screen.

RulingFaction Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I've had no problems binding to this particular key either. is to the left of the '1'. I didn't know my keyboard had to pick a nationality either. Edited January 7, 2012 by RulingFaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
