keypad use with freelancer

[Thargoid]

If you can't map the keys in your device into Freelancer, then AutoHotKey is your tool

I currently use it to switch strafing to turret steer, I press Control+H and it swaps them, press it again and it switches back to strafing.

I also have a 5 button mouse, and have mapped the 5th key to missile/torpedo/mine, I press Control+` and it cycles through missile/torp/mine.

4th key is reserved for firing a CD at escaping trader

Be careful what you do with it though, as I know some cheating individuals use it for chain-firing and crazy matrix manoeuvres.
