Like the title says: When I accidentally press "t" I activate the say function and am a sitting duck. How do I unbind that? I can't find it under "customize controls".

Look in the config (.cfg) file for bind t "messagemode" and change t to a key that isn't already in use for another bind.

Should also be able to change it via console (press the ~ key and then type in the bind t "messagemode" command, changing the t before hitting submit.

Alternatively, if you just don't want it to be bound at all, type unbind t via console and it should unbind it.

Sadly the config.cfg file always gets overwritten by the game, whenever I start the game anew. Setting it to write protected doesn't change anything.

Typing unbind t via console works, but I have to do that every time I start the game. I would be nice to have way that works permanently.

That's where autoexec.cfg comes in. If you don't already have that file in your (quake2 install)\baseq2\ directory, open Notepad (or a similar editor - anything you can type words in should do) and add in the unbind t command, save the file as autoexec.cfg (making sure to save it as All files and not a regular text file). Once it's saved, it should be a CFG file just like the regular config file - assuming it is, just drop it into your baseq2 directory and launch the game to test if it unbinds the key.

Thanks, that did the trick!
