ow in gods name do you configure controls?

Just wondering how on earth you configure the controls. This should be such as simple procedure but be damned if I can figure it out...so friggin complex.

I want to put all my primary controls (move , fire , talk etc.) on my mouse as I have in every other game but be damned if I can get this thing to accept the changes.

Hate using the KB for mundane tasks. Want for example :

Space=Prone

Left MB = move forward (crawl)

Middle button = mic

Right MB = fire

MB4 = sights

etc...things like that.

Then you only have to use one hand to play the majority of the game leaving the left hand free for KB infrequently used but necessary commands (or holding your beer / smoke while you play )

Is there a trick/secret or are the controls simply hard coded and not supposed to be changed?

Oh and I tried searching using about 7 different words/combinations but found nothing related.

Uhm, setting up controls is pretty straight forward. I'm assuming you've looked under Options --> controls. Are you removing previous key binds after making changes? Sights is named "optics".

I run default keys (due to the similarity with other tactical shooters..) other than reveal enemy, command fire and some flight controls. Can't expect to play this game without the KB.

I've tried removing the default assignments in the editor using the DELETE command then inserting the control I want to use but doesn't seem to work.

Tried deleting all the keys in the config file hoping it would come up blank but it just assigns default keys again.

Jeez..this should be one of the simplest things to incorporate in a game yet it's not..

Reinstall ArmA?

Don't know of anyone here experiencing this.

When you change your key, adding or deleting, click next at the bottom of the screen for "next key assignment". If you change it and back out right away it will not accept the changes.
