Layout for TKL Keyboard

[sandikata]

Is it possible, with current configuration set, to get it working on TKL keyboard?

Expected behavior

Same as in summary.

• I searched the current issues and the feature is not known.
• I am mostly sure that the feature will bring more good than harm.

By using that type of keyboard you will lose the fast buybinds functionality. Nevertheless, the config should work just fine

I encourage you to make use of second binds script, as you can alternatively swap some used keys with desired guns if necessary. Or, as a last resort, use the F(unction) keys to create a set of pre-built gears; use cs2 bind generator.

Here's an trivial adaptation, made on the run, based on the 04.10.2024 (commit 9e77a91) version. Be wary that it is just a mere example and untested:

F4 and F12 are not used due to their nature. The default keybind ALT mixed up with F4 will result in a game exit and F12 is used as a shortcut to Steam internal screenshot tooling.

What about your example? How it supposed to work? Or it is with modifier key (Alt) ?

[armync]

Your bindings are a way of doing it, yeah. My idea was using the modifier key (Alt). You are supposed to use it at the beginning of the round, by pressing ALT + desired F1-F11 (except F4 and F12) key for whatever item needed. Sadly there is no way in a TKL layout to embrace all the items in a perfect way (our workarounds a bit slower or... randomly placed binds across the keyboard rather than grouped in the same area).
