Remap vehicles controls
I would like to remap the controls of the vehicles, and the vehicles only. For example, the default button for the turbo on the Scout Car is the sprint key (SHIFT in the default settings), I would like to assign it to another key, let's say the duck key. How can i do It? Thank you.

You can't map the vehicle controls to be different to the character controls.
The "+speed" action will always be used for both vehicle turbo and character sprinting.

The game won't allow two different actions to be assigned to the same key.
So you can't have sprint and duck on the same key.

But it will allow the same action to be assigned to two different keys.
So sprint can be assigned to both SHIFT and another unused key (for example, "t" for turbo.)
Use the developer console command:
bind t +speed

I have "R" set as turbo/sprint as far as I know pretty much all controls can be set in options keyboard

This means that you changed the sprint key and was automatically assigned for the car's turbo, because it uses whatever key is the "sprint" key. I want to set that the car's turbo is assigned to whatever the "duck" key, or the "zoom" key ecc. is.

Turbo is sprint, sprinting car. It's a perfectly good key, not sure why there is a need to change it. It is the Sprint button for cars.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Thank you for your constructive response, it’s the first time I play this game and I'm surprised by how much customizable the controls can be, I particularly like the aliases. I didn’t realize that the vehicles' turbo was linked to +speed, I tought it was bound to the sprint key. OK then, I’ll try your solution, I didn’t know that you could assign two functions to the same key 😉
