Grim Combat Query - Keystrokes to Functions
I play with Grim Combat Systems Zombie raids etc. One of the tools is the "power" function. Depending upon which weapon is deployed, hitting my "F" key will activate either a "kick" against the Zombies, "freeze" them or send out a stream of skulls which eventually will kill them. I can recall that when I first used this function it could be executed by mouse clicking on the particular icon beneath the Quest Box, or tapping a key. For some reason I changed the execution to the "F" key, but I cannot recall the method for making this change. I thought it might have been on the Preferences/ Control tab, but in that box "F" is assigned as the primary key to fly/ stop flying. My second thought was that it may have been a "gesture" but I can't find anything that matches that. My third thought is a very hazy memory of a specific tab for Grim Combat Systems, but I can't find that either.
Would any kind soul be able to enlighten me on this? I normally use SL Viewer, but I have also used Firestorm viewer.

The problem seems to have been solved. It appears (and I use that word advisedly) to have have occurred when I used Firestorm. Yesterday I was using SLV and in trying to track down the problem I went into the "preferences>control"* panel and in "walk to" action under "Primary control" it said LMB. I don't recall having seen this before or can't guess what it means ("Lock mouse" something(?)). However I deleted these letters and everything returned to normal in SLV. I then changed computers and found the same problem was still extant, so I took the same action, and achieved the same result.
*I haven't looked in every nook and cranny but this feature doesn't appear to be in Firestorm.
Thanks to those who replied to my question.

Strange happenings. I am running Second Life on two computers, with 4 different avatars, two premiums and two ordinary. One of my common activities is going into Grimly's Combat System (GCS) Zombie sims to chop zombies. I use both SL Viewer and Firestorm, but prefer SLV. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that on one of my computers (my gaming desktop) when using SLV in GCS, my avatars have had the following problems. I can load all weapons and move around but my weapons do not function. I move the avi by hitting my arrow keys, and normally the weapon "fires" each time I step. When I log into SL by using Firestorm, all avi's work as per normal on both computers in Grimly's. Yesterday when I logged in to SL using SLV on my "working" computer (laptop), I was notified that there was an upgrade being installed. When I subsequently logged into a GCS sim, I found that my avi's on this computer were behaving in the same manner as on the desktop computer.
I've downloaded SLV on each computer, doing an uninstall and re-install, keeping only the bare essential files, but this seems to have had little effect, save that immediately upon entering a GCS sim with one of my avi's yesterday, it worked perfectly, but when I changed weapons, the system reverted to its non-working state.
Is this a known problem? It only seems to occur with SLV, and not Firestorm.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Myntz, that's where it was. The gesture is called "use power". It's in the "inventory" under "gestures". Just have to work out/ remember how to reallocate it to another keystroke.
Much obliged
