Cannot rebind keyFreeHeadMove
New, WishlistPublic

Description

In the Arma3Profile, keyFreeHeadMove is set to 29 (Left Ctrl) and is not able to be rebound using the ingame controls menu. When mouse look is not enabled, this causes very annoying unintended head movement when both control and the mouse must be used in a helicopter, for example with Task Force Radio for the long range radios. As a rotary pilot in my clan it is a major issue to me, and it's just bad form to not be able to modify a control that has a possibly adverse effect in game. Note that this is reproducible in vanilla, without TFR or any other mod running.

After further experimentation, it appears that at some point the default value was removed from keyFreeHeadMove in the config, fixing the issue for people who have generated their profile since then. However people with older profiles still have the value set, with no ingame option to change it. So it may suffice to just have them change it in the config (or remove the value as part of an update?) and leave it out of the ingame options.
