    Unbinding the TAB key

    As I understand it, you can reconfigure your key settings in the BF2 Client to suite your own preferences. This I have done except the TAB Key, I want to change the TAB key to mouse look. I removed the TAB key bind from Score board using the esc key. However, when I select mouse look and hit the TAB key to bind it, it tells me it is duplicated in the common controls. I can't see it. The same with the left shift key, it tells me it is duplicated in the helicopter section.....its not.
    Is this a BF client glitch? Is there somewhere I can look to see what keys are bound to what...better still, is there a 3rd party program that can let me bind outside of BF2.

    Afternote: I even deleted "all" the keys in the common controls section and tried binding TAB to another function in common controls............nada, stills says its duplicated in the common section.

    My Documents/BF2/Profiles, locate your current profile and then open Controls.con in Notepad, hit Ctrl+F3 and search for every line with the word Tab in it. Then delete edit to your hearts content.

      Tab appears in 2 places. Both in the "ControlMap.create defaultGameControlMap"

      ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_GITab IDFKeyboard IDKey_Tab 10000 0

      and

      ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_GIShowScoreboard IDFKeyboard IDKey_Tab 0 0

      The above settings appear to be only in the game default.
      Without wishing to appear ignorant, what should I do to bind the TAB key to Mouse Look (which was L Ctrl) without screwing the whole thing up.

      Fox.....

        Pick a random unused key and assign it to both of those, then make the change you want. If it does happen to break something to the point that your keys are messed up it can be easily fixed just by deleting the Controls.con file.
