Post your KF keyboard bindings

I'm very curious about what other KF players use for their keyboard bindings. I'm sure some of you are too, so without further ado, post them up! :cool:

Also, feel free to discuss and critique other players' bindings.

N.B If most are default, just post the ones that you can remember that are different.

W, A, S, D - forward, back, strafe left, strafe right
Q - quick heal
E - open/close door
R - reload
F - transmit voice chat (I wanted to use C for toggle crouch instead, so I changed transmit to this; the flashlight can be toggled using the alternate fire key too so technically you don't really need a key binding specifically for flashlight)
Z - melee weapon
X - throw grenade (G is too far away to my liking)
C - toggle crouch (much like in many other FPS games, got used to this)
G - "Thanks!"
V - "Help!"
B - give money
T - say
Y - team say
spacebar - jump

N - "Get to the trader"
M - "I need some money" --> the two commands are related to money and n is next to m so it's easy to remember (M binding is actually default [I think] by the way)

Up - "Go upstairs"
Down - "Go downstairs" --> the arrow directions are intuitive make it really easy to remember these two

Left - "Get inside"
Right - "Get outside"

\ - drop weapon
Insert - "Yes"
Delete - "No"

1 - primary weapon
2 - secondary weapon
3 - special weapon
4 - tools
5 - knife (I never use though; I have z for melee weapon)

F1 - "Let's hole up here!"
F2 - "Follow me"
F3 - "Weld the doors"
F4 - "Run!"

Tab - toggle scoreboard

Left mouse click - primary fire
Right mouse click - aim down sights (hold)
Mouse 4 - secondary fire (located near my right thumb; mouse 3 is very hard and awkward to press as a mouse wheel)

E D S F - forward, back, strafe left, strafe right
H - quick heal
G - open/close door
R, T - reload
Mouse 5 - transmit voice chat (I wanted to use C for toggle crouch instead, so I changed transmit to this; the flashlight can be toggled using the alternate fire key too so technically you don't really need a key binding specifically for flashlight)
V - melee weapon
X - throw grenade
None - toggle crouch, Mouse 4 - Crouch
B - "Thanks!"
None - "Help!"
J - give money
U - say
I - team say
spacebar - jump

None - "Get to the trader"
None (but I will use M for this too) - "I need some money"

Tab - toggle scoreboard

Left mouse click - primary fire
A - aim down sights (toggle)
Right mouse click

C - Call for medic

Q - Last weapon (like every valve game)

Z - Tools

I changed the text buttons because in the heat of battle I would go to reload or press "5" which is my alternate button for special weapons and accidentally hit "T" which is a deadly error since every key I press afterwards is nonsense and I'm confused as to why I'm not moving.

I set talk to Y then disable T (to avoid accidental).

PgUp/Dn - Get upstairs, Get downstairs.
ArrowUp/Dn - Get outside, get inside.
Ins/Del - Yes, No.
Home - Get to the trader.
M - I need money
Z - Medic!

Alt - Push to talk.

B - Drop money
Backspace - Drop weapon

Everyone's going to think I'm nuts.

S = forwards (middle finger on this key)
D = backwards (index finger on this key)
A = strafe left (ring finger on this key)
X = strafe right (thumb on this key)
Spacebar = jump (thumb knuckle on this key)
L. Shift = crouch (pinky on this key)
C = throw grenade
E = use
Q = throw weapon
Z = last weapon used
T = throw cash
L. Mouse = fire
R. Mouse = ironsight
M. Mouse = secondary fire
Mouse Wheel Back = reload
L. Ctrl = Microphone

I've been playing PC FPS games like this my whole life. No idea why, but I can't shake the habit this late in the game. :p

Mostly standard for me, except:
shift - crouch (god i can't stand using c)
alt - voip
mouse4 - alternate fire mode
J - drop weapon (no good reason just that I got used to this as default in Farcry and its stuck ever since)

Also while we're at it should post some peripherial specs!
mouse - razer copperhead
keyboard - razer arctosa
Both are great for gaming but can be a little difficult to use for general computer use. Works for scaring girls off my computer (or is that the nude wallpaper?)

Let's see...

Left Mouse: Fire
Right Mouse: Drop weapon
Mousewheel (both up and down): Ironsights
Middle Mouse: Alt-fire
Z: Throw nade
Q: Last weapon
Shift: Selfheal
F1: Medic!
F2: Thanks
Enter: Chat
Caps: Voicechat
[, ]: Drop cash
Ctrl: Crouch
W,A,S,D,1,2,3,4,5,E,R,F,Tab: Defaults

I plan on buying a new mouse with five buttons, so I'll edit here once I get it, redo my bindings, and remember this thread exists :3

And here: YouTube - Killing Floor - Tips'n'trick(s) is why my right mouse button makes me drop my weapon.
