Remapping Alt - Menu key?

Post by ormoc44 »

Just wondering if there is a way to remap the Alt key, which hides and displays the top menu bar?

Can not see any obvious options in the GUI - or if there is a way to do this in the cfg?


The reason for asking is that this would really expand the number of key combos for various functions.

Using both FSUIPC and Voice attack, they recognize an Alt+key combo.

The trouble with the Shift+Alt+key combo it will activate the menu bar as well as the desired function.
Would be good to find a way to keep this off but still have access to the menu bar when needed.

Hello,

Currently this cannot be remapped since it's handled slightly differently than standard keyboard commands.

Thanks for the response.

Any chance this is something that could be looked at for future versions?

It would open up a lot of key combos.

For anyone interested, did manage to find that using (Control + Left Alt + Key) or (Shift + Right Alt + Key) did not call up the menu bar.
