[REL] Lexbind 1.0 - a new keybind mashup for Sh4 1.5

[Lexandro]

So I was playing Sh5 a bit the other week and the main bad thing about it was trying to reconcile the different keybinds between sh4 and sh5. However after a bit I started to like the controls, so when I restarted my Sh4 game I decided to try and make my own keybinds with controls i liked from both. The scope of this mod is to change the keyboard layout to resemble Sh5 but leave intact all the function keys as they are in Sh4. Nothing more. In creating this keybind mod, I had to use a layout that was alternate to Sh4 and Sh5 so I could work out wth I was doing and see what was editable, and decided to start with and incorporate some of Websters keybinds from his "new menu orders bar" mod. While some of the normal keys are fine for Sh4, I always prefer a camera setup to use the WASD keys. This is a hang over from all my fps gaming, so camera keys on the arrows has always peeved me. This mod resolves that, and adds in a couple of keybinds that were missing or not listed properly from the stock game.

Great, thanks! I'm going to try it on a swedish keyboard

Very good key layout.
Is it possible to get the zoom key back? Ether on the TAB or assign to another key? My mouse scroll doesn't work 100% with the 1.5 OTC mod I'm using

The link is not working, all I get is a link to upload files.

All I am looking for is a way to create a key binding to raise lower the snorkle.
Do you have a syntax example for it?

Thanks
Manu
