Changes to Commands.cfg Have No Effect

[CptGlub]

SH4 Gold Edition. Using JSGME to swap in GFO(snorkel name change fix & New Orders Bar Menu that come with GFO) and Magnified Hud Dials for 1.5 Large.

Played TMO for so long that I can't get used to new keyboard layout. Especially when the action is on. No problem, I say, I'll just go in to the commands.cfg and make all the GFO keys just like the TMO keys. Tedious but it will be worth it, I think.

I have gone into every stinking commands.cfg in the silent hunter 4 and mods folders and made the same change to bind the attack peri to F3.

Game refuses to change. F3 is still nav map regardless of which commands.cfg I change and I've tried every combination with game restarts and even tried a system reboot.

Can someone please tell me the trick to changing the keyboard commands?

WHILE I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION

Why are the GFO and Snorkel name change mods greyed out in the "activated mods" box of JSGME while the New Orders Bar Menu and Magnified Hud Dials mods are in black?

I know GFO is working because the opening splash page has "gfo" on it.

my JSGME is version 2.6.0.157

Thanks for your help.
