if you open up the file \data\Cfg\Commands.cfg you will find entries like this:

[Cmd59]
Name=Systems_control;Weapons_mng
Contexts=1
Key0=0x49,,"I"

search for the highlighted in yellow part and I'm wanting to know what it's Name= is.

as soon as i get home i will find it. is it the data file from the ui you made or will it be in the the actual game folder?

Have I said this already today?.... I LOVE YOU TheDarkWraith.

Oh.. I suddenly realize this isn't the "fix" but you looking for where the Shift + I command for identification is in the code. Yeah.. I looked for it for an hour and could never find it.

I know.. I'll go look at one of those key mapper mods and see what they've done and that can help me narrow it down... brb..

This was in Church's SHV 1.01 Keyboard Commands v1.1

[Cmd343]
Name=WP_Identify_target
Contexts=1
MnID=0x3F130002
StringID=1073
HasDelayedExecution=Yes
Key0=0x49,s,"Shift+I"

that is the same command I'm issuing with WEPS-->Torpedo Attack-->Identify target so I don't understand why he is having issues identifying targets with it. Could be that some mod he has is using a different command for that.....

I'm going to use your mod (as always because I LOVE IT) and see if Shift + I works without using the icons with the mouse... I'll report back.

I haven't mapped the key to anything with the mod so it should do nothing...you'll have to edit your commands.cfg file and add that key if you want to test it.

I did a copy/paste from Church's mod on that command (what I pasted above) into my commands.cfg.

That's all I had to do? Shift + I should work for me now?

yes as long as you added it to the end of the file and adjusted the [Cmdxxx] to be the next incremental # AND a search for that key reveals it isn't being used somewhere else.
