What are your key bindings?
What are your key bindings for, say, a generic FPS/third person shooter?

I know some really weird key bindings that people have, like LMB to move forward, no strafe keys, A or Spacebar to shoot, etc....

I use a pretty standard layout with a QWERTY keyboard:
W A S D for movement
LMB to shoot
RMB to aim
Shift to sprint
CTRL / C to crouch (depends on how I feel that day)
Scroll wheel to switch weapons (or number keys)
Spacebar to jump

In general for first person games:

WASD to move up, left, down, right respectively
Mouse1 to shoot
Mouse2 for alternate fire
Mouse3 for aiming down sights
Mouse4 to crouch
Mouse5 to sprint
Number keys to switch weapons
Space to jump
F for special abilities and stuff (e.g. Vigors in BioShock Infinite or Class Skills in Borderlands 2)

WASD for movement
E for 'interact' keys
F is usually one of my 'special' keys. (Flashbang, flashlight, etc.)
Tab is usually a weapon swap.
Shift for crouch, Ctrl for sprint or walk.
G is generic grenade key.

B - Binars if there is more than one type of vision option.
N - Notes.
M - Map. Very rarely used.
K - Skills screen for Deus Ex.
L - Logs.
T - Team chat. As if I even use that.
Y - Same as above.
Enter/Return - When sending in chat.

[ - Use medkit.
Tab - Check ping rate in KF or L4D2.

Windows key - F£$! why did I press that!?

Still not sure which keys to use for KF voice overs/orders. But usually the arrow number keypad area.

Left mouse shoot stuff.
Right mouse aim at stuff.
Middle mouse click for zooming.
Mouse wheel switch weapons.

Hah, Windows key... I would pull it out of my keyboard, but it would look weird lol

I actually use a Dvorak keyboard layout, so I ended up just modifying the keybindings to mirror the traditional qwerty layout.

That ends up being
, - forward
o - backward
a - left
e - right
... etc etc

Mind you, this causes problems with some games that don't accept punctuation keys as valid action keys. (I'm looking at you, Mirror's edge)

M1/M2 - forward/backward
Z/X - strafe left/right
Ctrl/Alt - primary/secondary attack
A - duck
C - use
Shift - reload or other action
