So, I finally bought BTS yesterday:D. I come home, load it (a pretty grueling process with the update bug with the gold edition, but I eventually figured it out:mad:), and decide to try out this BUG Mod I have seen in screenshots on these forums.

I download the mod and load it. The first thing I look for is the strategy layer to turn on. As I find the right hotkey (ALT-f10) and hit it, I discover that ACER, the company that made my laptop, has included a feature that I was not aware of. On ACER laptops, whenever windows is running, ALT-f10 is set as a hotkey to run a emergency backup program:eek::eek::eek:.

Needless to say, I cannot bring up the strategy layer:(. My question is this...

Does anyone know how to remap the BUG hotkeys? Can you even do it? Is there some other command that I am missing that will bring up the strategy screen?

I am assuming that this problem is unique to ACER computers, as it is ACER software that the backup program is. I will also say that I am not very versed in programming or playing with a windows registry, so I am not sure where to go to turn off the windows hotkey.

Thank you in advance for everyone's help.
 
Actually, the real hotkeys (the ones I assigned after getting sick of hitting ALT+F10 a bunch of times) are ALT + X (toggle edit mode) and CTRL + X (toggle visibility).

That being said, you can remap some of the BUG shortcuts by modifying the XML files in [Custom]Assets/Config. The ones created using the <shortcut> XML entity are easily modified. Here's an example:

Code:
<shortcut key="[B]Ctrl X | Ctrl F10[/B]" function="toggleDotMapVisibility"/>

A vertical bar (|) is used to separate multiple shortcuts for the same function. You can use "Ctrl", "Alt", and "Shift" in any finger-twisting combination (case is unimportant).
 
Emperorfool, you are a officer and a gentleperson. Thank you very much. One other quick question, is there anywhere I can look at a list of all the hotkeys? Again, thanks in advance.:goodjob:
 
Open the Sevopedia (F12) and select the Shortcuts item near the bottom of the left-most list. You'll see all the shortcuts in logical groupings with all the BUG ones in their own group.
