How to modify keyboard shortcuts?

mido · 12-20-11, 08:46 AM

I need to travel extensively for the next couple of months but do not want to give up playing SH4. Therefore I need to modify some keyboard shortcuts for my laptop without numeric keypad.
At home the laptop has a nice big monitor and a keyboard plugged but of course not when I am traveling.
Can somebody help me to create a "mini-mod" which changes the keyboard shortcut layout? I need some keys which are only available from the numeric pad changed to a keyboard without numeric keypad.

Thanks in advance for any input!

What's the keys you want to change? for time compression, Numpad "+", "-" and "enter"?

Thanks so much for your reply!

The most needed keys in the numpad are - and + for time compression and and . for turning the UI on and off, and yes, the "Enter" key, too.

Which keys to assign to, well, that's a matter of taste, what ever is available.

Thanks again.

Yes the + and - keys and the . for turning the UI on and off are the big ones. The rest I can work around. Thank you for doing this for us when you do get a chance to do it.

This is the answer to all your problems. Make your own key map.
