n,m,l,j, and h keys not working
I binded them multiple times, through the bind menu and through console, but whenever i click them it doesn't do anything. It worked earlier today and now it doesn't. i honestly don't understand why this is happening. please help

First of all, verify that something is bound to the key. Type this in console:
bind n
It should show "n" = "+char1" or "n" = "+mouse_menu Events" or similar (depending what is bound to the key). But, if you see "n" is not bound, then you have a problem.

Here are some suggestions which can help you find and troubleshoot the problem:
  • Check for any conflicting add-on(s) and remove it (another vocalizer or any add-on using radial menus).
  • Check if you have any problematic Launch Options parameter (eg. +exec something.cfg or similar parameter launching a config file).
  • Check if your config.cfg file is not read-only (otherwise game can't save key bindings).
  • Check if you have autoxec.cfg (I recommend you delete it).
  • Verify your game's cache files.
  • Disable all other add-ons, leave only my vocalizer enabled and check if it's working then. If it is, enable add-ons one by one until you find which is causing you troubles (probably the one who automatically binds keys).
  • Check if it's Steam Cloud related. Maybe it overwrites your config file with some older version from cloud or vice versa.
  • Check your keyboard.
  • If nothing helps, try searching for "problem binding keys" in the Discussions because it's not vocalizer related problem.
Good luck!

Im having the same issue as he is. I did check the 'bind n' to test it and it shows that it is bound to the right key, but not sure what else to do. My keyboard is fine of course, verify cache didnt do anything, disabling mods didnt change it either. As for the autoxec.cfg thing, not sure where that is or what to do but aside from that, not sure what else to do. The rest of the keys work perfect

OK, I missed to mention here one extremely important thing (although it's very clearly discribed in the How to use section of the add-on's description):

You have to select your current character with the Character selection radial menu to be able to use its character-specific lines! If you don't select it, those 4 character-specific menus won't work. Selecting your character should be the very first thing you do when you start or join a game.

its because you're supposed to press them, not click them.

This was resolved at the end of last year. Why are you responding to this? What are you trying to say anyway?
