This was a real common key that a lot of people I knew used and
recommended to others (especially those who rebound movement keys to the
wasd block). Worked fine in beta and even in release, until Verant
decided to put the transparent toggle on ~. Man did that drive me crazy.
I kept attack there for a week or two, suffering through the constant
toggling of transparent mode until I finally broke down and moved it.
Then, just as I started to get used to the new key, they released a
patch that allowed you to rebind the transparent toggle. GRRR!!!!.

I don't understand why their interface developer has to be /feedbacked
to make every new key he adds configurable. How much extra work can it
be?
