And that is it!

Let's talk about the various categories in the key mapper.

Gunner: These deal with the commands available to gunners.
Vehicle: These are the command available when you are driving a ground vehicle.
Chute Keys: These commands concern you when you have bailed from a plane or vehicle.
Flight Keys: All the commands available pertaining to flight.
View Keys: Commands which control your views in the game.
Global Keys: Commands available almost all the time.

Now, if you try to map a key which is already mapped, the game will warn you about it, but allow you to map it to the new command and remove the mapping from the old command.
