I usually make them up on the spot, heh. For awhile I was using a script that picked from a list of names.

My Key Bindings

Post by DDMJ »

Here's my story of "evolution"

When I first started playing (in like March of this year) I used z for left and x for right. I didn't yet know how to change them and I really wanted to because I am right handed. At the same time that I wanted to change them, I wanted to learn how to double bind. Someone helped me out and I put left arrow as another turn left and right arrow as another turn right. Now this was much better because I could double bind and my hands were spread apart. Very shortly after, I made space bar brake because it seemed an easy fit. Then by accident I set glance back to arrow down. I then was playing and accidently hit the arrow down key and I realized woah this can help me. Then I thought, if there's glance back, there must be glance left and glance right. Now, where to put them...I only use my left hand to brake and double bind. I figured that I would never be double binding, braking, and glancing at the same time (I was later proven wrong due to a pattern I developed of dbing and glancing) so I set my glance left and glance right to c and v respectively. That's it!

Summary:

z - turn left
x - turn right
c - glance left
v - glance right
space bar - brake
(now arrow keys)
left - turn left
down - glance back
right - turn right

That's it!

Being used to Unreal Tournament and Rune, in which the motion controls are mapped to the left hand by default, I was comfortable with the default keyboard layout of Armagetron from the start, even though I'm right handed.

I just have trouble remembering what message is mapped to which instant chat key...

Pezz, those have got to be the most unique key binds I've seen to date.
