aw needs the ability to hotkey to side step left and right, such as using
the right and left arrow keys

It's already there. Look in your new control configuration panel and map the
keys to somethiung.

[View Quote] So hold a button to strafe. There's really no need for a strafe key
system aside from the hold button one. Really, I don't need to dodge
enemy fire with crazy side-stepping like I would in CS or DoD. And
unless mutation features real time battles with assault rifles... I
don't think you would need it either. :P

Perhaps what he is seeing is simply the modifier key that must be held along
with the turning keys to sidestep. Shift by default. Try setting keys for
"Move Left" and "Move Right", right under the keys for turning. They will
let you sidestep in that direction with a single key. My preference is the
NumPad1 and NumPad3.

[View Quote] I notice you're setting those keys up on keys that already have other
functions mapped to them.

A really good feature of the new key configuration thingie is that the
various Numpad keys don't conflict with the insert/home/Pgup/pgdn
keys in that other block of six keys on a 101 key keyboard.

The default mapping maps both the numeric keypad keys, and the
UN-NUM-Locked equivalent keys to the same functions.

But if you have a 101 key keyboard, you can treat that block of six
keys (ins/del/home/end/pgup/pgdn) that is not on the numeric keypad
as pretty much new keys entirely, continue to use the numeric keypad
for things you've always used it for, and use the other six keys for the
new stuff (sidestepping, zooming the camera).

Yeah, but I never got used to those other keys on the NumPad, besides the
arrows, in AW. I've been itching for years to match my AW keybindings to
those I developed a love for in games.
