If you get used to it, it'll feel great. Thing is, all the keys you're gonna use are within reach, you just need to memorize them by playing with a bind configuration like that, and voila :]
It can get in your way while moving, especially if you're starting to use such a configuration. But since the fingers don't need to travel far, it's just a flick of the finger once you get used to it and it's barely noticeable in game if you release a movement key for that short of a time.
Unless you're playing other games where you can't re-define the custom layout and would get confused if you switch from one layout to another, I can recommend to move the entire left hand (provided you're right-handed) one to the right. I use esdf instead of wasd and have more keys around my movement keys available. I consider this very comfortable as I can access ANY of the core weapons reliably and have the additional mouse buttons that my mouse offers free for the most important communication binds (for me: enemy seen, flag seen, attacking, defending, item free).

New to Xonotic? Check out my Newbie Corner! <ZeRoQL> i think i got 1 proper quad and that cunt halogen fuck me over with a laser
I've noticed some players doing something cool with key bindings and wonder how to do this:
Upon button press Q:
Switch to Laser. When Laser fires once, switch back to previous weapon.
Also, I would like to set a weapons prefence, but am unsure what all the name of weapons are (and these need to have pictures next to them). Is there such a list showing the name (used for key bindings) and the pictures?
The images on the wiki page are outdated (see laser/minstanex). Can anyone fix that?
As for switching back to previous weapon, there's no need to implement that in the bind, as laser has "switch to previous" on secondary fire. You could, theoretically, set up a bind that switches to laser, fires and switches back to previous weapon with one keypress, but I'd not recommend to do that as you'll need to be able to very carefully time when you shoot the laser in order to reach a certain height, or to NOT reach a certain height. That would become very tricky if you would have to take the time needed for switching to laser into calculation for doing the jump. Better time the laser shot DIRECTLY by using the fire button :o)

Actually, yes and no.
Those tiny pictures are used at the accuracy under the scoreboard and in the HUD in some places.
At first we need them for the game itself for all newer models.

I twiddled around a bit with my current keyboard layout, and came to notice that I have *a lot* of "say" binds...
Anyway, here's a layout map I created, to keep myself from getting confused The main keys are shown bold, and the colors refer to different "groups" of keys (red = weapons, blue = movement, green = general gameplay, yellow = talking, cyan = other ingame stuff, gray = general stuff/unused):
Note that I'm playing on my notebook's keyboard (Thinkpad), and therefore can't use the numpad; also the key layout above isn't exactly the one I'm using.
And here's a screenshot showing my current HUD. One thing I'd like to change is the position of the ammo indicator, as it's sometimes hard to see with the weapon model in the background:
Update: Here's my current servers.cfg which I include from autoexec.cfg. It allows you to quickly connect to the popular servers, by just entering e.g. "dccminsta" in console or by running xonotic directly from the commandline, "xonotic +dccminsta".
Code:
//// server ip's
set dcc_beginner_ "83.220.149.2:26002"
set dcc_ctf_ "83.220.149.2:26003"
set dcc_minsta_ "83.220.149.2:26001"
set dcc_plain_ "83.220.149.2:26000"
set dcc_trans_ "83.220.149.2:26004"
set dcc_pickup_ "83.220.149.2:26500"
set mon_okserv_ "87.250.159.246:27000"
set mon_vhserv_ "87.250.159.246:27001"
set ex_duel_ "88.198.17.137:24446"
set ex_ctf_ "88.198.17.137:24444"
set ex_tdm1_ "88.198.17.137:24497"
set ex_tdm2_ "88.198.17.137:24498"
set pickup_ "xon.designxenon.com:26400"
set ucpublic_ "89.238.64.210:26000"
set ucprivate_ "89.238.64.210:26042"
set pacman_ "46.38.243.232:26000"
//// connect aliases
alias dccbeginner "connect ${dcc_beginner_}"
alias dccctf "connect ${dcc_ctf_}"
alias dccminsta "connect ${dcc_minsta_}"
alias dccplain "connect ${dcc_plain_}"
alias dcctrans "connect ${dcc_trans_}"
alias dccpickup "connect ${dcc_pickup_}"
alias okserv "connect ${mon_okserv_}"
alias vhserv "connect ${mon_vhserv_}"
alias exduel "connect ${ex_duel_}"
alias extdm1 "connect ${ex_tdm1_}"
alias extdm2 "connect ${ex_tdm2_}"
alias exctf "connect ${ex_ctf_}"
alias pickup "connect ${pickup_}"
alias ucprivate "connect ${ucprivate_}"
alias ucpublic "connect ${ucpublic_}"
alias pacman "connect ${pacman_}"
And here are some lines from my autoexec.cfg - some changes to the default "say"-binds which I think are more useful; the last two lines (yes, just two!) change the scoreboard config for the different gametypes. Not the "cl_hook" alias at the end to make it overwrite the default scoreboard after each mapchange.

Dammit, you got me! But ... it was early in the morning! Aaaaand .. I had no time. And uhm, maybe my scrollwheel wasn't working!

Hey that's cool, I changed the CTF binds in my config some days ago. The default ones are just .. not really useful. I will update my above post later today, too!
I have also a config for easy access to the popular servers, that might also be useful for others.
@g4spr0m: "I can see the OUR FLAG" - you might want to get rid of the extra "the" =)

oohhhh thats some CPMA whatsitsnamemap >.<
most people would move it to the left, or use drawgun and turn it off like a boss :>
also, does anyone have dl link to the nimbus font?
But for your convenience, I uploaded the font .pk3 here: http://ompldr.org/iaWEwaA =)
You can apply it by adding "exec font-nimbussansl.cfg" to your autoexec.

Hmm yeah, I might give that one a try (the first suggestion .. I *love* the weapon models and won't turn them off)
Haha, no drawgun is quite a hardcore setting, and I don't know what kind of player you are, so it was worth suggesting; i wouldnt do it either
