Reverse hotkey (U key)
Posts: 378
While I'm not hoping for hotkey rebinding, could Relic please change the hotkey for Reverse command to R or T key please?
And no, please don't advice me using grid key. I can't get used to that.
Also, does anyone else have the same problem as me?

Just stick it out, play some compstomps if you care about your rank. Gridkeys are just so much better.

the problem is making the change from classic to grid is even more worse. since ur muscle memory is so used to classic. i tried it and it made me go insane
Just stick it out. I would suggest first playing some custom games and/or big team games to get a bit used to the new hotkeys in a low-pressure environment. If you swap hotkeys and go directly into hard games, you will just end up clicking the symbols because you have no time to think about the new hotkeys.

Personally, I've rebound the reverse hotkey to one of my mouse buttons. I basically picked up that hint from there:

Of course, this means you must have a keyboard with macrokeys, and a macrokey you're not using at the moment.

I think that the most annoying thing about Grid Hotkeys is how R is "Reinforce" on normal hotkeys, and "Retreat" in gridkeys. Makes for some pretty hilarious situations when you take the time to softretreat to a halftrack, only to have that squad sprinting back to base instead
For me one of the annoying things when switching from standard to grid hotkeys was that I often accidentally pressed 'R' instead of 'T' when trying to upgrade weapons on a squad.

U is an awful hotkey for reverse gear, and I've contended this since the game's release. Simply pointing out that you can completely flip the entire hotkey layout on its head with grid hotkeys, or that you can use third party software to change one bad hotkey placement is not justification for such a terrible design decision on Relic's part.

but when you use Gridkeys, how do you scroll? i use keayboard to scroll. how would you do that then?
Wait, how do you scroll exactly? Is there something other than the arrow keys?

Am I the only one who's going to stick up for the OP's premise here? Lol.

Relic hard coded the key bindings into the game which is why nobody can set custom bindings and they likely won't/can't change this in the future or it may screw the game up unintentionally. I don't really understand why they didn't allow custom key bindings in the first place because hard coded key bindings is amateur level programming.

i use WASD to scroll and all the keys around.
with GridKeys, you have to switch sides of the keyboard, don't you? that's very awkwar imo
