I am trying to bind the thor to space bar and my repel to caps lock. But everytime I click one of those 2 buttons it switches to "key7" Actually no matter what I press it switches to that. I think I am doing it right. I go to profile and then Key Defs, and then right clic thor the f6 goes away and then I right click the box and f6 goes away and it becomes gray. Then I left click the box and it becomes black. I hit Space Bar and instead of it saying space bar it says "key7"

 

 

Someone HELP me please!

 

I tried different kb's and uninstalled and reinstalled and it didnt work.

 

Thanks!

Not sure if it will solve your problem, but you don't need to right click to remove the binding prior to assign a new binding.

 

Open your key defs, left click on Thor, hit spacebar.

 

It should be that simple. If you are still getting the key7, then you just might be out of luck because that's something oddly specific to your setup. I have to agree with the response in your other thread on this topic, key7 sounds like a game controller assignment. Maybe unplug any game controllers/joysticks/etc. then reboot and try again.

By game controllers you mean kb and mouse? because thats all I have ever used.

Game controllers:

Google is an awesome wealth of information, even when there is NO information. Lack of info on something can tell you a lot about a topic. For example, when you google 'keyboard key7', there are almost no results that really match those search terms and are helpful. Almost everything with 'key7' points to coding/programming: 

https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS431US433&q=keyboard+key7&nirf=keyboard+keys&sa=X&ei=cpPNU4L5DIquyAS9pYGYBA&ved=0CB0Q8BYoAQ&biw=1365&bih=870

 

However, when you google 'game controller key7' you get a ton of results with those specific terms that make sense and provide information about defining key7 on a game controller:

https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS431US433&q=game+controller+key7&nirf=game+controller+keys&sa=X&ei=75LNU_GpNcGHyATzy4CoBA&ved=0CB0Q8BYoAQ&biw=1365&bih=870

 

So, by deduction, you can see that a keyboard spitting out 'key7' in continuum key defs isn't a common keyboard problem that occurs in other games around the internet. By google NOT having information about a topic, you can tell whether it is a common problem with a common solution, or if it is just something oddly specific to your experience and not many others'.

 

Now you can see why we suggested/asked if a game controller could be the culprit... 'key7' is commonly used when defining buttons/keys for them.
