Cant Mouse 2 for Target & Secondary Fire SRV with Custom Keybinds

Just like the title says.
Default Keybinds have SRV "target ahead" and "Secondary Fire" BOTH set to Mouse 2.

Just got a new HOTAS, spent hours trying to get everything working as needed. and I just don't want to do it for SRV, I much rather the close to default for SRV controls at least for the time being. I hear people use controllers for SRV, and I MAY try that in the future, but that's getting ridiculous to me, 3 types of input for 1 game. I would be completely happy with keyboard/mouse just for SRV.

Is it literally NOT possible to remap the two actions when it's set that way as default? I'd be willing to force it in like a config file with notepad if I had to..


Default Keyboard/Mouse Keybinds:

Custom Keybinds: Hotas w/ Keyboard

Bedtime: will check back in the morning. :)

Hey, thanks for trying to help out.
But that post is about mapping SRV to a HOTAS.
Whereas my problem is, im trying to just replicate the default SRV with mouse button 2. Same actions same button -in my custom drop down in the game, because I'm using a hotas for flying but wanted SRV controls to remain the same, since I'm already used to that and I dont feel like relear ing SRV controls is a worthwhile endeavor at this point. Any ideas about how to get these default setting to work with my own setup? Clearly frontier is capable of forcing the two actions on the same button, and now I'm used to it, so now I can't do that because of my expensive peripheral.

JoyToKey - Download the Latest Official Version

Download the latest version of JoyToKey for free! JoyToKey enables PC game controllers to emulate a mouse and the keyboard input, so that windows applications and web games can be controlled with joysticks.
joytokey.net joytokey.net

just set secondary fire to any free keyboard key then use joy to keyboard to press the same key
Click to expand...

I guess this is the best I can achieve?
Its a good workaround, thank you for that.

I will definitely use this solution if I cant get what I'm trying to do.

SUCCESS!!!

Thank you to the two Commanders who responded, especially for STRONTIUM DOG, for supplying a great workaround. But! I was actually able to go into the config file for the custom Keybinds and "Force" the two actions on the same button!

Steps Below:

Go to C:Users\Username\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Options\Bindings\
My Custom keybinds were called "Custom.3.0" > and opened with notepad.

I Scrolled and found a section Called:

</BuggyPrimaryFireButton>
<BuggySecondaryFireButton>
<Primary Device="{NoDevice}" Key="" />
<Secondary Device="{NoDevice}" Key="" />
</BuggySecondaryFireButton>

Changed it To:

</BuggyPrimaryFireButton>
<BuggySecondaryFireButton>
<Primary Device="Mouse" Key="Mouse_2" />
<Secondary Device="{NoDevice}" Key="" />
</BuggySecondaryFireButton>

AND!!!


<SelectTarget_Buggy>
<Primary Device="{NoDevice}" Key="" />
<Secondary Device="{NoDevice}" Key="" />
</SelectTarget_Buggy>

To:

<SelectTarget_Buggy>
<Primary Device="Mouse" Key="Mouse_2" />
<Secondary Device="{NoDevice}" Key="" />
</SelectTarget_Buggy>

This successfully Forced the Custom Profile where my HOTAS is bound, to accept both "target ahead" and "Secondary Fire" to use the same mouse button as is normally Default by Frontier.

Pics below are:
A screenshot of my Keybind Config file,
and
A screenshot of my keybind settings to show that It is now exactly as the default keybind profile for those two actions.
