What are your keybindings like?

[Strausser]

I'm just curious what you guys us for keybindings, or if you just use the default ones. I honestly don't like the default keybindings, including all the presets. But I'm quite picky with my bindings though :p

I usually arrange my bindings based on frequency of use and how quickly I need access to them (e.g. sprint button).

These are some of the bindings I've changed that I currently use for infantry movement, based on the "Arma 3 Apex" keybinding preset:

Step over: Space
Crouch/Stand up: CTRL (an old CS habit I guess, heh)
Prone/Stand up: C
Toggle Walk: V
Toggle Combat pace: Z
Adjust stance: Left Alt + W/A/S/D
Weapon zeroing: Left Shift + Mouse wheel up/down
Grenades: Mouse btn 4
Hold breath: Left Shift
Deploy weapon: < (this button is probably only nordic keyboards. It's placed between Shift and Z)
Change Weapon Optics: X
Toggle 3rd person view: Mouse btn 5 (i actually use this one quite a bit lol)

I find this one important: I've unbound hold breath from secondary mouse button, because I use zoom A LOT. I don't wanna waste my breath for just zooming. That's why I use Left Shift for hold breath instead.

I used to use the old default, now the Apex controls. After some time they become intuitive. The only thing I changed always was PPT and direct channel to my thumb buttons. At the beginning I also wanted to remap some, but because of frequent interfering I just played w/ default controls and got used to them.

I use a mix of Arma 2 and Arma 3 controls, with a few custom binds mixed in (1st/3rd person view switching is done via Middle Mouse Button; Reload is bound to one of my thumb buttons; default action is bound to both Space and my other thumb button).

Yeah I considered to just deal with at one point, but I play a lot of FPS games, and it messes with my muscle memory when they are that different :p

Default controls, just changed some chopper rotation keys to rotate with Q and D (AZERTY keyboard).

[PurpleBrickWall]

shift for walk, space for sprint.
A bit odd when i think of it but it's easy to use and i've gotten used to it

Default controls here. With a little bit of tweeking for personal preference.

I use Arma Enhanced Movement and like to use the space bar for the action, but since the space bar is used in the command controls, I delete all functions related to the command features. I also use TFAR and that requires the CAPS LOCK to be removed from the VON funtion.

It's just easier for me like that cause I mainly play Arma 3 and I can remember a 2nd "casual" key binding for battlefield, insurgency or any other FPS as well - it's not a big deal.

default arma 3 with two side mouse buttons for zooming

Wow, what an amazing mod! This should really be part of the base game! I only play MP, so this mod won't help me much unless the server has it enabled :\
This is really the one thing that bothers me the most in Arma! Yesterday, I tried to vault onto the base of a construction building (only like 1m high or so), but I ended up glitching into the building instead and got stuck..........

arma apex Default and running 2xW

[Rick D]

My setup consists of...
1. mouse
2. WASD foot controler (I walk with my feet ingame)
3. TrackIr (head tracking)
4. Voice command for everything else.

Since I constantly have my left hand on the keyboard and the right one on the mouse I have refitted most of my controls to be on the left hand side of the keyboard so I dont need to move the hand around all the time. How frequently/fast I need to use a key and if I need to be able to use it while moving was also important.

Inventory: CTRL + T
Compass: Spacebar
Nightvision: Tab
Next weapon/firerate: CTRL + R
Hold breath: Shift (this is just so I can control it more)
Deploy weapon: 2xC
Throw: 2xG
Zoom in and out have been bound to CTRL + Mouse button 4/5

For voip I got completely rid of push to talk/voice over net and bound the channels individually so I never end up talking on the wrong channel.

Talk on Global: Alt + Caps lock
Talk on Side: CTRL + Caps lock
Talk on command channel: 5 (these are not the numpad keys)
Talk on group channel: Caps Lock
Talk on vehicle channel: 6
Talk on direct channel: F

I think that just about covers it all.

A picture is worth a thousand words bro. Just use a screen shot of your settings. I'm a lefty so I do everything backwards, IE.. left hand mouse, right hand arrow keys.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I really could need to change the chat/Talk bindings; cycling through the channels can get quite stressful when you're in a hurry :p
