Remapping

The game is using strange implementation of key binding - you are not allowed to change an action to a key which is already bound to another action. Other games will unbind the previous action, or let both actions be bound on the same key. This is a problem because LP3 has several actions bound to one key and you cannot bind these actions to other keys. It makes ordinary key swapping also very difficult.
