    Home Key

    Is there any way to disable that stupid Home Key camera lock? It really annoys me because if I hit it while running I have to pretty much stop to disable it (moving cameras). Also if you hit it while dead it locks your camera and becomes super annoying.

    I seriously hate accedently pressing this button but if theres a way people know about to get rid of it then let me know.

    Re: Home Key

    Just curious:

    How do you "accidentally" hit it? I can't think of an controls in-game near it that I actually use

    If you have compact keyboard layout, you can just use "," and "." for zoom in/out, and if you're on non-compacy you can use 3 or 9.

    Re: Home Key

    I have my ventrilo push-to-talk key set to Insert, so yeah, I hit Home quite a lot. I've only been able to disable it by a lot of buggering around with target lock and zoom in/out.

    That's my situation exactly. But it doesn't go 'unlocked' when you're dead or if you're auto running. :/

    I want to just disable it.

    -Take screwdriver (flat bladed).
    -Insert between Home Key and case.
    -Pull down sharply.

    It's what happened to my Caps Lock key.

    This is what I was thinking. Bind it to equip some piece of armor that doesnt exist so worst you get is an unable to equip message

    Re: Home Key

    not sure exactly how this does its key remapping (i just remember this app, i don't think i played w/ it much) but if it works, it's a good way for a novice user to flip their keyboard mappings around. also handy for laptops that had the keyboard designed by a monkey placing the insert key next to the space bar.

    Take a screwdriver to your keyboard and pop the key off. :P
    ... Windower bind to nothing is probably the best option though.

    Likewise. I play on my laptop now usually, so my hands are pretty much at-rest while playing with just my fingers moving, and i've never really hit the Home key, especially while trying to kite something or run around

    Yeah I don't.

    Anyone have any advice that isn't windower + taking out the button related? Or changing the key since I'm so used to that button.

    Re: Home Key

    there are a bunch of software/shareware options for disabling keys in windows, you could google disable keys windows and see what you come up with. quite finicky for enabling/disabling every time you quit ffxi though.
