Pause/Breack key on keyboard

sry wasnt clear enuff...there is no pause/break button on this particular Dell keyboard. I am looking for a way to edit config file. There are 2 in GAR directory. 1 config.txt which is empty. 1 config.lua which opens with notepad, but is written in code. Need help with that please. Ty for your response.
ps-have same prob with Imperium Romanum :(

Buy new keyboard since you've the same problem over and over again.

Hi mgsgt2000,
You were perfectly clear.

Unfortunately only a subset of the key bindings are user configurable and the Pause function is not one of them.

I assume if it was a laptop you would have said "using Dell laptop" rather "using Dell keyboard", but just in case, many laptop keyboards without a Pause/Break key usually have a combo that can be used instead. Try: Fn P or Fn Ctrl P or Fn Alt P

If it's not a laptop keyboard then you can use AutoHotkey which is a very popular application and you'll be able to set up a key combo to emulate the Pause key.
Alternatively, Google "scancode map" - This is built into Windows but will be more complicated to set up.

I have a little side project of modding GAR and I'll add making all keybindings user configurable to my todo list.

Thanks for reply ominous...i have Dell pc w/no pause or Fn key... will try autohotkey and take it from there. Thanks again my friend

Use the autohotkey tool

and this code:

p::SendInput, {break}

;)

Can't you just hit the ESC key?

I have a Toshiba Laptop and I tried some of the combinations suggested, but none worked. Eventually I discovered that for my keyboard FN Pause will pause the game. I thought I'd say it just in case.

Using Dell keyboard with no pause button...is there anyway to configure a new 'pause' button. Really like this game but no pause is a bit aggravating. Plse help

Press buttons Ctrl Windows O (that's the O key for open) brings up and onscreen keyboard which has a "Pause" button on it.

Hit pause and then Ctrl Windows O again to get rid of the onscreen keyboard

When ready to unpause, bring the onscreen keyboard up again, click pause to "unpause" then dismiss the onscreen keyboard again.

A little tedious to bring up and close the onscreen keyboard but the lack of a "pause" key frustrated me for years.
