Here on the forums I've seen numerous mentions (or I've seen the same mentions numerous times, can't be certain) of using the Repair Laser & SETA in conjunction to repair ships in a timely manner, however I can't work out how to use the laser without disrupting SETA, & my search-fu (I'm a search-fool) isn't upto finding out how this is achieved...
Help? (NB: Already "Modified", so if I need a script that isn't a problem)
X3TC: Repair Laser + SETA... huh?

Well normally pressing and holding left control and j at the same time works for me.

The auto aim script lets you set the laser to autofire without having to hold down anything. =)

Answering this, not for the sake of the original poster (more than 9 years ago!) but because:
1. his original question was not resolved,
2. I came here just now searching for the same exact info,
3. I took some time to figure it out
So go ahead and shout necro all you want; I don't really care.
To answer the question, then: Apparently code exists somewhere that assumes the default key configuration, because it is true that this trick won't work (or at least I and perhaps the OP couldn't get it to work for this reason) with some modified keys.
I changed my SETA to shift-T and my boresight (normally unused) to right-ctrl. This does not work. I tried various combinations, even O and L, respectively, and they did not work, either. The only combo I was able to get to work was ctrl + one character. I settled on boresight (B) and SETA (right ctrl). Interestingly, reversing the two keys does not work. Strange stuff.
So there you have it.
