|
|
This seems like a simple enough question, but I can't find this addressed anywhere. I use a laptop and don't want to use a second keyboard or the fn key. I had no problem reassigning most of the necessary keys with the exception of one area.
Is there a way to change the hotkeys for opening the Map and Pause while sailing? I don't see a place where that is possible in the keymap/laptop.ini files and assume that means it's permanently assigned to numpad keys 3 and 7. Maybe there is a third party program to do it simply enough.
I like to chill while I play. Having to click the map icon frequently to get my bearings while sailing is the opposite of chill. Any help is much appreciated! |

Hitting the Esc key should pause the game. |

Yeah, but esc also brings up the menu forcing me to use the cursor to open the map.
I did see that F6 is a devoted map hotkey on the manual, but I am not sure if it will work for my laptop. Also, its toooo far of a reach away! |

The 1 and 3 keys on the number pad scroll side to side in the menu, and 8 and 2 go up and down, respectively. No need to use the mouse at all. Well, you may need to to rename a ship, but you can even select a ship as your flagship with only the keys. You're welcome. _________________ The Code is the Law. |
