What the heck is this?
Is "F4" just too inconvenient to press and you wish you can press different key to Ready Up?

Tired of people not ready up because "My F4 key is broken"?

Then you've come to the right place!
Easy way
Go to Options, Keyboard tab. Find the option "Toggle Player Ready", shown in this image.


Now you can change that "broken" F4 key of yours to something else.
Advanced way
Press ~ to open the console (remember to enable Developer Console first).

On the console, type the following:

bind x player_ready_toggle

Where x is the key you want to set for your Ready Up.
Congratulations!
You have learned how to change your Ready Up key! Now stop complaining about your "broken" F4 key and Ready Up already!

Link anyone who complains about their "broken" F4 key to this guide to shut them up.

Have fun!

To-do list: Get a better branding image.
Note: F4 is hard-coded to always toggle Ready Up in MVM.

Thank you so much for this. My computer is a different brand so pressing f4 doesn't work for me.

There is an "FN" button. Pressing that and F4 should help.
