The goal of this thread is to improve the commander gameplay (especially for more advanced players).
As a player gets better and better playing as a commander he starts using hotkeys, but i noticed that there is a "bug" in the hotkeys. As you press "c" to see the map to command your team, at the same time you are selecting some structure to build. This can, sometimes, ruin a game as a commander spends his precious resources in something that is useless for the situation.
What I'm suggesting here is to change the random hotkeys so that new players don't need to customize their's, making it easier to a player to get used to a random set of hotkeys.
Please feel free to do some suggestions!

    That's why you can change your commander bindings

    It would be better that if you hold c that you see the map. And if you quick press c that it uses the commander menu option. This way c doesn't have to be rebinded to another key.

    In other words, a key for the commander should not activate on key press but on key release. And if the time between press and release is bigger then some time then use whatever other function is binded to the key (like the map).

    V is the best key to have as default map. Let me highlight my IP's and check the map real quick...
