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. Wink
