Can you use CTRL-F keys as hotkey?

Post by lowenblade » Tue, 7. Sep 10, 23:43

I'm having problems getting X3TC game to recognize CTRL or ALT based F-keys, but it recognized Shift-F keys just fine. Is there a setup step I need to take to use CRTL or ALT based hotkeys?

Shift is the only modifier key available. Alt and Control are both used for other purposes and can't be used as modifiers.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

On a semi-related topic...

Is there any way to bind a key to tell your wingmen "Follow me"?

I can bind keys to "attack" and "protect", but I don't see a way to map "Follow". Would be useful for when I want them to STOP attacking a target.


Edit: I'm playing Reunion. Not sure if that makes a difference.

My planets call me to the void of my birth.
The time has come for me to kill this game.
Now open wide, and say my name.

There are several scripts in the scripts and modding forum for additional hotkeys. You could take a look there.
