Hiding the control interface for screenshots.

Hawkers · 07-20-05, 10:28 PM

I know that it's possible to 'hide' the main control/messages menu at the bottom of the screen, by hitting the 'Del' key on the number pad for US keyboards, but what about international keyboards?

I'm using a standard Microsoft compliant keyboard, manufactured in Thailand (I'm in Bangkok), and my Number Del key is assigned to the 'lower observation persicope' command in my game. Can anyone with a similar keyboard suggest an alternative key stroke (not mapped to any in-game commands) to hide the main control bar?

I'm using Cavalier's excellent Keymapper utility to modify game commands, but AFAIK, this only works with the commands.cfg and not the menu file.

Thanks
