Granular Control of Keybindings

[JuniperM40]

Howdy - Complete ER2 noob here (but not a noob to WW2 shooters - Big fan of Red Orchestra 2 back in the day)

Hate to ask a question which has likely been answered a million times (or at least addressed), but my "google-fu" is weak today and cant find a definitive answer that addresses what i'm after.

I have remapped my keys to how I like. For example 'W' is crouch.. yet for some reason, holding 'W' makes me go prone. I dont want this. I enjoy holding down the key only when I want to crouch - i don't want it to be a toggle nor hold-to-prone. (noting I already have another key to "go prone" as part of the keyboard setup)

Likewise, Ive remapped my 'aim' key to 'F' - which I DO want to have as a toggle. i.e. if I press 'F', my character should do aim-down-sights forever - until i tap 'F' again.. yet the defaults want me to hold that key down to maintain zoom. No way to make it sticky.

TL;DR = How do I get more granular control of my key bindings?
i.e. I want crouch to be only-when-pressed, and I want aim to be a toggle. (and not vice versa).

Cheers and thanks.

WHY ARE YOUR CONTROLS SO CURSED?!

Why do you enjoy carpal tunnel syndrome? ;) haha.

No seriously.... I've simply grown accustomed to these keybindings from online gaming back in 1994-1998. The muscle memory is strong. It works well - and can usually re-map things how I like on pretty much every game (RTCW, BF2:PR, WWZ, RO2/RS1, PS/SQ44, HLL, Enlisted, etc..)

The only exception so far is ER2.

If you want full disclosure - I rest my 4 fingers on q-w-e-r and thumb on space. Its very comfortable, hence most common key controls are rebound somewhere near there, with easy access to T and F, TAB and Space. Barely have to move my hand to run, jump, duck, prone, aim, fire, left right, sprint, and reload all at the same time...plus select weaponry right above.

i.e. effectively can play for hours without moving my hand. I never understood WSAD style controls as it just seems like a way to induce, as mentioned, carpal tunnel syndrome in the left hand if one is not careful. ;)

Cheers.

I am with you on the accessibility of controls being integral to an FPS. Bought my Wife Ostfront 41' along with Darkest Hour and she had to do the same. One key was needed to ADS while she aimed with a track pad and then pressed a second key to fire.

Holding crouch makes you go prone in Easy Red 2, it has always been this way. As far as "toggle ADS" there's a program called Autohotkey which can do what you're after. reWASD also allows you to toggle keys.
