Hello!

 

I'm looking for a way to change the hardcoded key "select all" in BG2. Doesn't seem to be that easy as editing the keymap.ini file.

 

Thanks a lot for help!

I don't know how to change the key within BG2, but you could always use a program such as http://www.autohotkey.com/ to change your keys.

For example if you wanted the select all key (=) to instead be (`), you would just create a new text file and put this as the first line:

=::`

Save it and rename the file type to .ahk then run it and you're done.

It would work with any other keys you wish to change as well. Doing a::b would make it that any time you press a it would return b instead, etc. I use this often in any games which don't support full keybindings.

The following AutoHotkey code will switch the "0" and "=" keys, effectively swapping which keys send the "zoom-in" and "select all" commands, accomplishing what you want without losing any functionality.  It also remaps the numpad keys to the normal keys which was necessary for me in the original game but may be unnecessary in BGEE...

#IfWinActive Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition ahk_class SDL_app
	Numpad0::0
	Numpad1::1
	Numpad2::2
	Numpad3::3
	Numpad4::4
	Numpad5::5
	Numpad6::6
	Numpad7::7
	Numpad8::8
	Numpad9::9
	NumpadEnter::Enter
	=::0
	0::=

The following code will ALSO modify the Tab key so that you can press it once and it will be held down, and press it a second time to release it:

TabVar=0

#IfWinActive Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition ahk_class SDL_app
	Numpad0::0
	Numpad1::1
	Numpad2::2
	Numpad3::3
	Numpad4::4
	Numpad5::5
	Numpad6::6
	Numpad7::7
	Numpad8::8
	Numpad9::9
	NumpadEnter::Enter
	=::0
	0::=

Tab::
	{
	If (TabVar="0")
		{
		SendPlay {Tab down}
		TabVar=1
		}
	Else
		{
		SendPlay {Tab up}
		TabVar=0
		}
	}

Return

Attached are compiled version of both scripts (with and without the TAB functionality) and the source code.
