My first "a" CtD <sob>

[Platapus]

I have only myself to blame.

There I was no sh*t….

I had this convoy of four merchants and three escorts.

Through exemplary tactics and a steadfast determination to bring destruction to my enemy, I sunk two of the escorts and mortally wounded the third….ok it was mostly luck but my intention was true.

I was just lining up to finish off the limping escort.. Licking my chops in anticipation of being able to pick off the four merchants at my leisure…. Ya know, I just might take them on using the deck gun, just to make it hurt more. Not bad for my first career patrol in SH4.

Ahh there is the last escort… listing badly, moving slowly, coughing up blood, but still dangerous as a wounded tiger.

Up Scope, let’s get a good set up (never pass up an opportunity to practice set ups).

Hmm a little far away, I better zoom in to get a really good range calculation.

<hit Tab>

OH NO!!!!!

I accidentally brushed up against the “a” key!

Nice windows wall paper..

That convoy was mine!

I only have myself to blame. Did not save during the battle.

Is it possible to remap the “maintain depth” to a key FAR away from where I am in battle?

Not a happy evening

I did the 'A' key crash of death also....same mistake....TAB key. You are not alone friend.

I think i'm the only one who plays w/ out using the keyboard. Only time I use the keyboard if I want rudder control.

I like to call it "multi-tasking"

I will be opening torp doors and clicking on sonar, hitting the hard to port key while clicking on the map...stuff like that.

I guess I can zoom using the wheel on my track ball right?

Is there an easy way from the periscope screen to open the doors using the mouse?

I also don't use the keyboard that much
<tab> for zooming and to ensure ctd
<Q> to open the doors
<space> to fire guns
<+> <-> and <backspace> for TC
and the function keys to jump to stations (although I use that more in SH3)

For all of these I can use the mouse execpt for the opening of the doors. I have seen the various interactive switches I can use at the various stations but is there one in the periscope screen I can use or one on the attack map?

Anyway, I am assuming it is not the "A" key that is causing the CtD but the function "maintain depth". Is there a way I can either remove the key mapping for that function or remap it to a remote (in the next room if possible) key?
