		Garlef 9 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Microduck It makes sense for multiplayer FPS since it gives you more room to have one key per weapon. My quake 3 bindings where roughly: Mouse wheel down - Rocket Launcher Mouse Wheel up - Plasma Gun Q - Shotgun W - Lightning Gun ... This lets you switch directly to the weapon you need without cycling through the weapons in between.

Given the amount of controls that modern games have, I'd propose RDFG for movements instead, so we have all the new QWEAS on the left-hand side for even more keys available, together with TYHJ on the right side. Shortcuts galore :)
