I found, that good old Tremulous has risen from the ashes again, and dayum do I like Unvanquished. A lot. But something … was missing. And when I stood there, in my first local game, in front of that armoury, while my fellow human player bots got eaten by the alien bots, with me frantically clicking through the menus to arm myself to aid my teammates in their valiant struggle against the alien infestation, I … kept pushing buttons, because, obviously, somewhere within the deep connections of my cerebral neurons, some memory lay dormant, waiting for the ingrained pathways to be flooded with fresh impulses again. Or, in short:
What where those –censored– bindings again?
The original configuration files – i played Tremulous for the last time back in 2007 – are long since gone, a few things I could “reverse engineer” from muscle memory (6 obviously did give ma a battle suit and a chain gun back then), but so be it, neural pathways can be re-imprinted, and after some trying around, I think I finally got my ultimate key-bindings to fight in the human team. Not builder, that I will look into at some other time. So here are few conditions those bindings had to meet:
• I am not a WASD-player (I use the number pad), so I those keys are fair game.
• Avoid throwing a grenade near the armoury under all circumstances. There is never ever any reason to do that.
• All items and weapons must be obtainable via key-bindings. There must not be any piece of equipment that requires to get into the graphical menus again to get it.
• Spawning must also be available via bindings.
That said, here they are, my bindings not set via Unvanquished's menus:

Also, thinking back, I think I had a binding “n” for “naked”, which sold all equipments and all weapons, but that I suppose would be something like “sell upgrades; sell weapons” or something.
