I use the default TFC setup. Not a thing changed.

Thumb=Space=Jump.

Pointer:

D=Strafe Right
F=Primary grenade (2 tap)
G=Secondary grenade (2 tap)
E=Use
R=Reload
X=Drop bag
C=Toss flag


Middle:

W=Forward
S=Backward

Ring:

A=Strafe left

Pinky:

CTRL=Duck
Shift=Walk (I use this when I play spy)



I have yet to assign my mouse 3. I'm thinking on making it my script key, depending on what I'm playing.

Defense: "Inc from my position."

Offense: "Tossing the flag."

Etc.

Arrows = movement
Ctrl = crouch
Shift = walk
Enter = Use
Del = class specific
KP_INS = class specific
Mouse1 = primary fire
Mouse2 = class specific
Mouse 3 = class specific
Mouse 4 / Top side button = Jump
Mouse 5 / Bottom side button = Reload
Scroll wheel = weapon switch
Keypad = slot bindings
Tilt wheel (left/right) = for grenades

My class specific binds include grenades when grenades are needed more (like the pyro napalm grenade) and also include secondary fire and quick switches, where appropriate.

I'm still struggling with a good FF setup and need to implent some binds (calling a med + typing 'i'm sick' and stuff like that)

Now I used to play TFC with the arrouw keys, until someone told me about WASD (or ZQSD on an azerty, EUROPE FTW!)

Ah I remember playing on "fun servers" with those hide and seek maps and climb maps and stuff, we used to make all sorts of crazy binds like bind the flashlight to the backspace so you would get a strobo effect or bind "Hi there, %i, I see you!" (%i being the name of the last seen player, or was it %s... hm whatever). Man that was fun, I was an ace in hiding in those maps, and searching too! Man I wish those maps would be ported to FF, now THAT would be fun!

if you call for a medic when infected, you say you're infected. there's a different set of medic calls for that. also, there are engineer binds from the "engyme" command

I used to use the arrow keys with my arms crossed and I used other keys by WSAD to aim, can't really remember how I had that set up exactly but it wasnt efficient. I've been using WSAD now for serveral years and imo they are way better that arrows.

up until recently (like a month before FF) I played with the Key Pad...

8 = up
4 = left
6 = right
2 = down
7 = secondary nade
9 = primary
/ = toss / discard
enter = duck
3 = quickweapon
del = use

And i had cfg's customized for all of my dif. classes, but yeah that was the best. Worked extremely well and you had spacing between all of the keys which was nice.

The only reason I swtiched was b/c i ran out of keys...I started enting a lot on a friends server and no matter how customized my menu.cfg was it just started to get overwhelming so I trained myself on wasd!

I've noticed that many of you don't label your jump keys. What gives?

Asheron's Call style!

A = left turn
D = right turn
Z = left strafe
C = right strafe
S + X = back

The rest is default... play like this since 99.

I'm a left hander, so I use my left hand on the mouse.

This means I have problems with WASD cos its my right hand on the keyboard.

Long story short, the arrow keys are dead comfortable for me - so that's what I use

I dont like WSAD or similar cos i always hit "wrong" buttons (no i have no thick fingers :P).
I play with arrowkeys for 8 years now.. and i cant use every keyboard, i need a special layout for these binds:

Code:
//movement
UPARROW "+forward"
DOWNARROW "+back"
LEFTARROW "+moveleft"
RIGHTARROW "+moveright"

MOUSE2 "+jump"
CTRL "+duck"
SHIFT "+speed"

MOUSE4 "dropflag"
MOUSE5 "discard"

//attack
MOUSE1 "+attack"
MOUSE3 "+attack2"

MWHEELDOWN "slot3" //quickweapon - depends on class
MWHEELUP "slot1" //quickweapon - depends on class

DEL "toggleone"
END "toggletwo"
KP_END "throwgren" // I release both nadetypes with this button.

And I use KP_HOME, KP_UPARROW and KP_PGUP for classspecific binds like 
Engy: Build disp/sg
Demo: set detpack 5/20/50 etc :D

//misc
ENTER "+use"
m "changeclass"
n "changeteam"
q "saveme"
w "engyme"
y "say"

wow looks like I need to get a camera to show what keys I use because I can garuntee, it's very odd.

I use my arrow keys for movement, but only my index finger for up/down. I use my thumb for left/right strafe.

Other weird hand/keys:


Delete: Jump
\: Duck
Gren1: Backspace
Gren2: =
End: Use
Pg Down: Reload
Insert: Walk
Mousewheelup/down: lastinv
Mouse 4(left side): discard/stopsound
Mouse 3(pushing scroll wheel): Voice comm
Mouse 5(right side): drop flag

That's about it for the weird keys lol. Something even weirder, I don't have my spacebar bound to anything, and I've been using this config for over 8 years now since I originally started playing TFC.
