Control Settings
These control settings files can be altered to modify the Keyboard tab & its dialog.
- resource/OptionsSubKeyboard.res
- resource/OptionsSubKeyboardAdvancedDlg.res
scripts/kb_def.lst
This file is not used anymore; use cfg/config_default.cfg to define a default keyboard layout.
cfg/config_default.cfg
The config_default.cfg provided in a Source game doesn't have all of the archived ConVars that config.cfg does, you don't need to put the ConVars from config.cfg into config_default.cfg as you should only worry about binds.
The config_default.cfg from Half-Life 2/hl2/cfg looks like this:
// [mailto:yahn@valvesoftware.com YWB] 10/10/03:
// If the user doesn't have a config.cfg when they run,
// this gets executed the first time they run the engine
// It doesn't execute if they have their own config.cfg saved out.

scripts/kb_act.lst
The keyboard commands refers to the list of commands and headers in scripts/kb_act.lst that appears in the keyboard tab of the options dialog.
To create a header, use the following format in your kb_act.lst:
"blank" "==========================" "blank" "#Localized_String" "blank" "=========================="
The tokenized string should be put in your mod's localized string files (i.e. valve_english.txt).
Here's what the kb_act.lst from Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer/hl2/scripts looks like:
"blank" "==========================" "blank" "#Valve_Movement_Title" "blank" "==========================" "+forward" "#Valve_Move_Forward" "+back" "#Valve_Move_Back" "+moveleft" "#Valve_Move_Left" "+moveright" "#Valve_Move_Right" "+speed" "#Valve_Sprint" "+jump" "#Valve_Jump" "+duck" "#Valve_Duck" "blank" "==========================" "blank" "#Valve_Combat_Title" "blank" "==========================" "+attack" "#Valve_Primary_Attack" "+attack2" "#Valve_Secondary_Attack" "+reload" "#Valve_Reload_Weapon" "+use" "#Valve_Use_Items" "phys_swap" "#Valve_Gravity_Gun" "impulse 100" "#Valve_Flashlight" "+zoom" "#Valve_Suit_Zoom" "impulse 50" "#Valve_Commander_Mode" "slot1" "#Valve_Weapon_Category_1" "slot2" "#Valve_Weapon_Category_2" "slot3" "#Valve_Weapon_Category_3" "slot4" "#Valve_Weapon_Category_4" "slot5" "#Valve_Weapon_Category_5" "slot6" "#Valve_Weapon_Category_6" "invnext" "#Valve_Next_Weapon" "invprev" "#Valve_Previous_Weapon" "lastinv" "#Valve_Last_Weapon_Used" "blank" "==========================" "blank" "#Valve_Miscellaneous_Title" "blank" "==========================" "incrementvar closecaption 0 1 1" "#Valve_CC_Toggle" "jpeg" "#Valve_Take_Screen_Shot" "save quick" "#Valve_Quick_Save" "load quick" "#Valve_Quick_Load" "pause" "#Valve_Pause_Game" "quit" "#Valve_Quit_Game" "toggleconsole" "#Valve_Console_Toggle" "blank" "==========================" "blank" "#Valve_Miscellaneous_Keyboard_Keys_Title" "blank" "==========================" "+walk" "#Valve_Walk" "+left" "#Valve_Turn_Left" "+right" "#Valve_Turn_Right" "+moveup" "#Valve_Swim_Up" "+movedown" "#Valve_Swim_Down" "+lookup" "#Valve_Look_Up" "+lookdown" "#Valve_Look_Down" "+strafe" "#Valve_Strafe_Modifier" "+klook" "#Valve_Keyboard_Look_Modifier"
As you can see, the format of adding a command to the list is very simple. Note also that any commands with "+" create a "-" command when you lift the key. For example, creating the custom command "+camera" and binding it to "TAB". When you press TAB, check the console and you will see:
Unknown command: +camera Unknown command: -camera
Keep this in mind when designing your custom keyboard commands.
