7- There is a program called "Keymapper". Do a search. It might even be in the downloads section as well, I'm not sure though. It is a nice little program that you can use to set/change key commands without going through the cfg(?) file and doing it manually. You can make one key do multiple commands. For example I set the "S" key to not only surface, but to lower my scopes and go ahead standard on the engines. No more forgetting to lower my scopes when I surface and blindly sail around for days before I notice. I've done similar things with my sonar and deck guns too.

There's another one called "Set Keys" that I use for SH3 which should work for SH4 as well. I'm not really sure which I like better though.
