So i'd like to have quick access to the tac-map, but my keyboard doesnt have a num pad...so no num pad 0. The regular '0' key, the one with '0' and ')' on it, doesnt activate the tac map. I see no way to re-assign it in-game.
I have a logitech g700 with buttons to which i can assign any keyboard stroke, but i cannot map a key that the keyboard doesnt have. I understand I can address this issue w/ autohotkey, but i'm wondering if there is a less cumbersome solution.
Suggestions?
key bindings solution

autohotkey isn't really a cumbersome solution at all really. download, install.
Open text document, write script, save as .ahk. Double click. To get you started heres my script
#IfWinActive, Company Of Heroes 2
w::up
a::left
s::down
d::right
e::w
r::e
t::r
g::a
b:: s
n::d
~Enter:: Suspend
+~Enter:: Suspend
Return
Only activates when CoH2 is active, it stops when you hit enter, and starts up again when you hit enter again. Mostly for in game chat. I copied this from somewhere else used my own bindings. just add Numpad0::0, or whatever you wanna reassign on your g700.
you might wanna look up what the exact numpad0 assignment is so it actually works
e: had to put space between : and S and it was causing this smiley face lol![:S :S](/images/Smileys/wacko.gif)

I tried using my a mouse button for it too and it worked like shit for me. Now i'm using autohotkey to change space into num 0 and i can't believe how i ever played without it. It's not cumbersome at all.

Definitely autohotkey, all the way.
Here's the script I use. Just replace "½" with whatever key you want. This will work with COH1 and COH2. Or, at least, it's worked for me on 3 different PCs. Remember to make sure the file extension is .ahk

I use capslock for the tac map. sometimes I mess around with setting my mouse thumb button to tac map as well. I also have my ` key (left of 1) key set to 0 for another unit hotkey close at hand.
I have also made ctrl + Q = F1 ctrl + W = F2 etc for my buildings.
