While playing, hit 'Escape'. There is an option there to reset the default action.

Flak Gunner: I'd love to fire him. About 1/2 the time he just sits there while one can reach out and touch the plane looking at us... (Even when set to short range engagement.) What's up with that? My blood pressure can't take it!! I want a sidearm so I can "fire" him!
F11 lets you shoot the gun yourself. Or get a guy with a decent Flak qualification and he'll be more accurate.

Sys Crashes: I don't expect an answer - I'm just venting. I can't tell ya how many times in the crew screen (F7) I've gone to switch the crew from attack to cruise mode and clicking on the button kicks me out and kills the game. Gads, I spend half my game time these days saving, saving, saving, saving... sorry... started to regress.
This is a known bug going back four years to the beginning of the game. The only solution is to do it yourself and not hit those buttons.

Are there any fixes for accidentally hitting enter? 'Cause when I do, i get really mad and thump it a number of times till all the fish are in the sea and that's not productive.
Use GWX. It's a much better experience and the torpedo 'Fire' function is redone so you have to hit Control+Enter to fire them, which renders accidental firing impossible.
