Hitting the wrong keys by accident

Hah. I've hit the ENTER key, instead of the SHIFT key, too. I was just afraid to mention it before. Thanks for taking the "noob" bullet for me.

Trigger Maru. Reassigns the keys to more sensible configuration.

I've launched torps a few times by accident and I still call the crew to battle stations, when I actually meant to go to binocular view, because of the TM key remapping.

It's not just a keyboard issue. If you have the Torpedo Fire Control pulled out, it sits just below the Attack Data Tool that you use to access the Stadimeter for manual targeting. While I'm focused on making a range check, I've had the mouse come down to the Fire button and send a fish off with the same left click of the mouse. Talk about giving your position away!!!

I've done that more than once. Concentrating on getting target data... then swish woosh... torpedo away. On the plus side it usually goes seeking some porpoise to play with and not giving me away. I put it down to a nervous crewman pushing the plunger.

I followed the Trigger Maru model and switched the command to Ctrl-Enter. Much safer!

Could you share HOW to do that? I have zero intrest in that mod. I just want to switch to CTRL-ENTER, that's all.
