How to configure the key controls - Notepad steps

You must be wondering why this game in particular will not let you configure any control key to your play style.
Best Way was not aware on how difficult was to adapt to their layout so in this guide I'll teach you on how simple this application is and doing these steps will allow you to configure the game key controls the way you wanted.

Be warned to create a Backup/Copy of the file to not have conflicts later.
These steps are :

1. Go to your :\Steam\steamapps\common\Soldiers Heroes of World War 2\profiles pick your created profile. If you haven't done that and was using by default profile named Player you can still proceed;
   
2. Inside the profile folder you will search for a file that is apllied to Keys;
   
3. Next thing is to open your notepad and drag Keys file into it;
   
4. Inside, you will see all the configuration you would not be able to edit inside the game. So with this notepad open, you will start configuring the way you want. Just make sure you are using Capslock or holding Shift when changing these parameters;
   
   Example:
   Before (default)
   

   {keys
   	{common                                              {control_camera
   		{weapon_reload "KEY_F12"}                            		
   		{weapon_unload "KEY_F8"}                                     {scroll_forward "KEY_NUMPAD8"
   		{weapon_prepare "KEY_NUMPAD1"}                               {scroll_backward "KEY_NUMPAD5"	
   		{center_active "KEY_F1"}		                     {scroll_left "KEY_NUMPAD4"
   		{prev_unit "KEY_SHIFT"}                                      {scroll_right "KEY_NUMPAD6"
   

   
   After
   

   {keys                                                                        
   	{common                                           {control_camera
   		{weapon_reload "KEY_R"}                                    
   		{weapon_unload "KEY_T"}                                    {scroll_forward "KEY_W"
   		{weapon_prepare "KEY_Q"}                                   {scroll_backward "KEY_S"
   		{center_active "KEY_C"}                                    {scroll_left "KEY_A"
   		{prev_unit "KEY_,"}                                        {scroll_right "KEY_D" 
   

   
   
   <!>Manual control and camera scroll are independent even if they were configure in the same hotkey.<!>

My fellow Steam user. The way, you found this guide, there will be categorized sections of the community hub, where reads 'Forum'.

[Xela]

Where i can a forum for me? U can send me a link? Plz

[Lil C]-[ew C]-[ew is ☂д☂]

Make a discussion thread there and hope for others to participate to aid you better because in here, you are only alerting me for an old problem that I never have ever...really never encountered in the game so open a thread in the forum and get help. I'll be looking into some old threads but it might not help or might do but again. Here you are willing to be helped by one person when on forum, others more can participate.

[Lil C]-[ew C]-[ew is ☂д☂]

Yeah...about you should use the forum instead. Don't worry I visit the forum from time to time. And you can always seek help and better understand on Google about this visual problem.

{toggle_attack "KEY_LBRACKET"}
{toggle_position "KEY_RBRACKET"}

Had to name them like that, thought I had to use the full LEFTBRACKET

Page up and Down are also

{pose_up "KEY_PRIOR"}
{pose_down "KEY_NEXT"}

In the game's notepad.

How do I use the [] keys? I use them in Men of War for a few settings and I want to make the controls similar.

[Cool - twitch(cdwnhd)]

[Soff Fox]
