Helpful key-bindings for left-handers / southpaw's in Fistful-of-Frags (FoF)

Helpful key-bindings for left-handers / southpaw's:

Just thought I would pass these along as a suggestion. I find that variations of these work very well in most Source (and older GoldSrc) games - as well as most first-person-shooters on the PC in general.

These keyboard arrangements allow me to keep my hands 90%+ of the time on the mouse (with my left-hand) and on the key-pad (with my right hand) - only taking my hands off one or the other to type stuff into chat, or other things normally done while "dead" or in spectator mode.

Take'm or leav'em as you see fit.
