I've been trying to setup some keybinds in City of Heroes. It's kinda a mmo tangent I go on sometimes to get my mind off of SC and "hard" games. There are a few keys that are utterly annoying and useless. For example the "-" key will scroll though your trays. Uh... You only ever have about 20 abilities and 3 trays that are always displayed is more than enough.

I'd like this key to serve no purpose at all rather than fucking with me when I mistype. I search the internet for a while on how to unbind keys. That is make a particular key do nothing. I can't find anything after about 30 minutes of searching. I then check the in game help and again I find nothing. Finally I open a petition as a final desperate measure. Here is my contact with the GMs thus far (It reads from bottom up.):

Response (GM Lloyd) 07/07/2009 12:18 PM
Hello,

You can reset your keybinds by selecting "Reset Keybinds". It's in Options under Menu, under the Keybind Profile tab. Blue button.

If you have any trouble, please let us know!

Best,
GM Lloyd
City of Heroes Support Team

Hi LeperKahn,

Thank you for contacting the City of Heroes Support Team. I am escalating your petition to a Senior Customer Support Representative to further assist you. Please be aware, however, that there may be a delay in reviewing the issue, based on ticket volume at the time your ticket was submitted.

Someone will be in contact with you as soon as possible.

Take Care,
GM Chirpysparrow
City of Heroes Support Team

Hello,
Sorry if I wasn't clear but I don't want to change my ketbinds back to
the default setup I'd like for certain keys to have no function. For
example - selects the previous tray. I would rather have - do nothing
at all. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks


Response (GM Brandon) 07/04/2009 06:29 PM
Hello LeperKahn,

Thank you for contacting the City of Heroes Support Team. You may need to reset your key binds in the “Options” window. To do this, open the “Options” menu, find and select the tab labeled “Keymapping” and click the “Reset KeyBinds” button. Once this is done click the “Save and Close Window” button on the bottom left of the window. After this you can use the default key binds or go back and set new key binds. We would suggest after saving the new key binds that you run the “/bind_save” and “/bind_load” commands. Once you do this if your key binds default or again seem bugged you may simply run the “/bind_load” command to reset them to your preferences. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us.

Thanks,
GM Brandon

Mac OS X: I want to unbind a few of my keys away from the defult. For the life of me I cannot get them to unbind. I just want a few keys to not do anything. Thanks!


Not only can a regular GM not answer my question, but after escalating it the "upper level GM" can't answer nor read any of the previous exchanges. All of their suggestions do the same thing: Reset the keybinds to the default setup which is useless to me.

Teamliquid I ask this: Does anyone know how to unbind keys in CoH so that particular ones such as "-" do nothing? Nothing being defined as when the button is pressed the game has no resulting action unless I am typing this key as a method of in game text conversation.

OR

How can I get GMs to answer me? Can someone translate my question into the language of incompetent GMs?

I think you have to go into the options menu. From there click the Reset KeyBinds button and you should be good to go.

Maybe you could set "-" to something harmless if it can't be disabled.

At least you can unbind keys in WoW.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

when you save the binds, bind - to the - key, i've used that before when i want to make a key useless because the game generally doesn't recognize the command.
