AutoHotKey - Script Example by d0ggY

Hello Everyone!

Out of recent events and conversation with players, i thought i try to give a solution to the problems of Hotkeys.

For me, COH2 Hotkeys have been a pain in the ass for a long time.

Especially because the Key need to be pressed and the way i _WANT_ to move my camera is way further away and as someone who comes from Shooters and RPG's, was weird and very confusing to move my camera with the Arrow-Keys instead of WASD like i was used to it.

So i have rearranged my Hotkeys with my keyboard driver and mouse driver. Initially it needed me a bit time to get used to this kind of cameramovement and hotkeys a bit of time, but after a week i never wanted to miss it again.

The AutoHotkey script would look like the following :

Now there is two things that miss to complete the setup of my keys.

I got Q and V bound to my Mouse... Q for Hold Fire, V for Molotovs, or Volksbuilding etc. A solution to that could be binding it to 1 and 2 of the Keyboard. That would add :

1::q
2::v

So a complete variation of my AutoHotKey script would look like this:

This script works with the Classic Hotkeys setup in ingame!

I have uploaded the full script on my discord!

To run the Script you need Autohotkey, that can be downloaded here:

May I ask why you don't just use gridkeys?

Then you only really need to rebind tac map.

AND how do i get to move the camera with WASD then? Grid never made sense to me

Ah, wasn't thinking about that. A lot of people use middle mouse button to move around.

Something i could never get used to

I don't really like middle mouse, but that gets me thinking: a side mouse button for movement? I use the main side button for tac map.

Personally I use gridkey + move camera with ZQSD (azerty keyboard).

When Space key is down, ZQSD keys have its default action. Space key remap on Caps Lock key.

I guess that could work aswell! Keyboard Layouts are unfortunately so different!

That moment when you use ASWD movement and gridkey at the same time.

You only have to rebind 3 letters because D position is basically unused. From those 3, the only one you would constantly use is the Stop one (W) which i moved to F. Reinforce (F) i moved it to old reinforce position (R) and the same can be said about retreat (T). For A and S which are construction things, i just moved it to tradionally V - B.

As you only use Enter key for chatting in coh2, you can bind it so that it changes some variable, or scroll lock flag for better control, and disabling all the bindings when writing. That way you can write normally in chat and yet use all of the keys needed for writing for your hotkey bindings.

Examples of that are in my posts in this thread:
