CTRL+ENTER toggles my fullscreen; why?
Right-Control is tied to my Wraith stun/drain function and ENTER (numeric keypad) is tied to GRAB. With these keystrokes combined they make my game change from fullscreen to a very small bordered window. It is reversible, but also very annoying.
Since I'm lefthanded I use my mouse with my left hand, leaving my right hand to use the arrow keys for movement; also the Numeric-0 and Numeric-Del, Right-CTRL and Right-Shift keys are within convenient reach, so those are generally the keys I like to bind.
Sowhatare my options?

CTRL - ENTER is a default 'Full Screen to Windowed' shortcut in windows if I recall right, and many games use it. Though many have also disabled this feature as well.

Why not mirror WASD and use PL:" on the other side. Then you still have access to Shift and Space for run and jump.

Until recently I only knew of -and used- ALT + Enter to switch between Ful Screen and Bordered Window. In previous Windows versions (or so I believe) you could alter some quickkey combo's to suit your personal needs. So far my internet search concerning Windows 10 and quickkey setups has yielded zilch. So I am uncertain whether it is possible to disable the CTRL-ENTER combo through OS settings.

Yeah, well, problem being that ever since I started playing videogames, most PC games [in the graphic adventure genre] relied on the arrow keys for movement; so in short, my brain has been hardwired to this setup for some 30 years. When the WASD setup started to become the most popular default gamesetting for ingame movement, I decided not to shift gears; I tried, but my fingers more than often missed the proper keystroke. Trying to mirror the WASD, only results in doubled frustration. Of course I could buy a game controller, but I'm one of those persistent KBAM types.
Anyhow, while it is still a hassle, I''l try to use the 4th mouse button as my second keybinding of GRAB; it's a hassle because the extra mouse buttons are on the left side of the mouse -maybe there are gamingmouses [gamingmice?] for lefty's like me. It's worth a shot.


If anyone else has viable solution or not-too-complex workaround, please share.
