*****USING AUTOHOTKEY IS THE ONLY WAY TO REMAP ESCAPE WHICH MAKES THE GAME WAY EASIER TO GET OUT OF MENUS*****

IGNORE uncle squirrel's warning :P

Example of how to rebind some keys, I have a 12 button mouse that goes from 1-12

So I changed from the F keys to my mouse keys to make life easier for inventory management and the F5 to quick save like most games. However F5 won't remap...

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Function Keys
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------

bind 1 "fatstat goals" // fatima: info / goals
bind F5 "mainmenu universe 3" // main menu: save
bind F9 "mainmenu universe 2" // main menu: load
bind F10 "mainmenu options" // set game/video/audio options
bind 5 "fatstat equipment 1" // fatima: stats-equip
bind 2 "fatstat equipment" // fatima: inventory
bind 3 "fatstat elementor" // fatima: elementor menu
bind 4 "fatstat collectables" // fatima: collectable objects
unbind f9
unbind f10
bind 6 "invoke 101:1" // toggle photo (or other special) interface
unbind f11

Also recommend changing the escape key so you can back out of menus easier (might not work)

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Game Settings
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------

bind PAUSE "pause"
bind ESCAPE "mainmenu"
bind ~ "toggleconsole"
bind ` "toggleconsole"
