in general you cannot play the game withouta hud. what are you trying to do?

Some people like to use the mouse more, others like to use the keyboard more.  Some people want to use both simultaneously.  It sounds like he wants a hotkey to bring up the palette of firemodes for the left hand weapon, and optionally another for the right hand.  Meanwhile he can keep his mouse cursor pointed at his target.  I think this is a good idea, as it cuts down on wasted mouse movement - especially since mousing down to click the 'fire' button tends to cause your view to scroll away from the target.  As well, this would help those have Carpal Tunnel conditions by reducing the amount of movement needed to play.  This is only one [well, two] of many places where it might be nice to have a hotkey, if there was a hook to hang a key on.

try to edit your keys.cfg (see the FAQ where you can find the user's keys.cfg -> application data)

Remind me to nag you about this someday, mattn.

I can see em, but cant customize em there... (or am I wrong?)

In general there is a hotkey for all important functions except the firemodes -
thus i enjoy playing without a HUD (F11-shortcut), but have to switch the HUD on just for firing...

As the HUD covers all borders it forms some kind of frame around the game - to me this takes atmosphere - thus I like the noHUD-mode.

I found a config.cfg but no keys.cfg...

[blondandy]

if you used an installer on windows, your keys.cfg is here (in an archive file)

C:\Program Files\UFOAI-2.2.1\base\0base.pk3\keys.cfg

copy it somewhere like here (this is the vista type path), this should be where you found your config.cfg

C:\Users\andy\AppData\Roaming\UFOAI\2.2.1\base

then edit the keys.cfg here.

I left out some steps (like how to unpack a pk3): see wiki FAQ

Great, that works fine.

Something like "righthand_select" and I d be happy.

Thanks anyway for the nice game.

do you mean a shortcut for the right hand firemode menu?
