Default Mapping Keyboard

Can a person remap the keyboard? If so how?
I dislike the enter = "Fire" command
I am ok with the space bar = "Fire"
In haste I inadvertently fire a torpedo when trying to accelerate or in free camera mode trying to zoom.

You would probably be interested to start with jimimadrid's SH_Keymapper utility. The file you manipulate is commands.cfg found in the Game \Data \Cfg folder of your install. It is text-based, and can be opened in MS Notepad, or more easily in Notepad++. No matter what you do though, make a back-up of the file first, for those "just-in-case" moments of time, when you go "WHOOPS!!!"...

i second PB's suggestion for jimi's keyboard mapper, which was originally designed for SH3 and can be usedfor SH4.

there is another keyboard tool, SH4 Keyboard Configurator. you can also use that to get the hang of things. sometimes i just use a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++.

good luck!
