I haven't got SH3 installed at the moment. But I'll try to help.

The file that alters the keys is the commands_en.cfg and is found in the folder SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg. There are a number of mods that alter this file, so ensure that you update the correct file in your Mods folder.

Open commands_en.cfg in notepad and search for F11 and F10 and see if they are there in the station command.

Download Setkeys
I find that making a new folder Setkey and puttin the Setkey program in there is the easiest way to use it. You can now copy the commands_en.cfg into this folder and make alterations without effecting your original file.
On starting Setkey it will ask where the file is - point to the commands_en.cfg you copied to the Setkey folder. Make yor alterations and then save. In the Setkey folder make a new folder called "Commands" and in it add the folders data\Cfg. Place the new commands_en.cfg inside these folders to give the root Commands/data\Cfg. Paste this into your Mods folder and enable last to overwrite the other file.
The advantage of doing it this way is that mistakes are easily corrected.

Another trick is to use a key mapping program like MapKeyboard. You can alter the key to any other. This would enable you to use F10 and F11 as normal but they would be remapped to the keys that you used in setkeys.

I already managed to get my PRTSC button working allowing me to take screenshots now.
Just to let you know I am able to get into my flak guns at the moment by pressing 'T' ,this is the button highlighted in the key commands screen (F1),but for some reason I am unable to go to the deck gun.
Anyway,thanks for the info you provided here,it will help a lot
