The main problem is, I can't set the command keybindings from the option menu since they don't show up. And the empty preset sets them to empty (which is fine).
I used the empty preset to create my keybindings for arma. Apart from the fact that not ALL keybindings are empty (there are one or two still using the default) this works fine.
As a workaround add and/or modify these lines in(to) your config file:
keyCommandLeft[]={};
keyCommandRight[]={};
keyCommandForward[]={};
keyCommandBack[]={};
keyCommandFast[]={};
keyCommandSlow[]={};
Normally this wouldn't be a huge problem, since I am used to edit config files by hand, but since all keyboard keys are indexed by numbers you actually have to lookup each key if you want to edit the config file.
I know what you mean, I made a new profile and mapped every key, from left to right, on to Move Forward, from there tried to backtrack which was which, Voted up
Being a left handed player, Arma was always a pain to map. Back in A2 I just reassigned but in Arma 3 I completely wiped every single control and started from scratch.
As some one said, it's extremely hard to control a APC/TANK/Vehicle without those MOVE FORWARD, HALT controls to the point where it is better to just 1man use it from afar.
I think the control section needs a small revamp, some one the control name lead to doubt on what they do, for example, I remember spending 10 minutes looking for the Optics control in order to bring up iron sights.
Some sort of information when you hover or try to change the control would be very appreciated!
