Keyboard Inputs - Inventory, Map, Magic and so on keys not functioniin

[diamok]

I have a pretty odd issue going on with one of my saves. Here's the low down...

 

I was using the console command tm (Toggle Menus) to take some screenshots, everything was going great until one time I forgot I was in tm mode and hit the enter key...a few times (took me a sec to realize I guess). But no biggie I thought, I entered tm and wham-o, back came my hud and menus. I saved (big mistake I think), exited the game and checked out my screenies. Cool, all was great, woot and what not.

 

I then rebooted Skyrim, loaded up the same save and tried to look at my inventory, but nothing happened, I didn't see anything. I thought, ok maybe I saved and forgot to turn the menus back on. I hit `, typed tm and what, now the menus are off, but what, they were on??? Ok, so I type tm again to turn the menus back on and try to get to my inventory again, nothing. Ok, I hit P (magic), nothing, M (Map), nothing. Ok ok, I hit esc and cool, the main menu loads up. So I check my controls, input and all that, but everything is fine and dandy.

 

So now I'm like, did this effect every save I have, is it a preferences thing or isolated? I load up a totally different save and everything works all great and lovey. So ok, it for sure is an issue with that save, but what is the issue?

 

back into the messed up save again and on a whim I hit `, type tfc (free cam) then hit my inventory button for my and WHAA...there she is. So wait...I try other keys, map, BANG, magic, BANG, and others, all show up without and issue. I'm now thinking with was some weird anomaly and my save is fixed. So hit ` again, type tfc to turn off free cam, try to view inventory again and....nothing. GAH!!!!!!! M for map??? No, nothing, its all again not working. I test with tfc again and everything works fine, turn off tfc and nothing shows up.

 

So here I am, I have a save which seems to have menus turned off, but not the hud, though the menus work when I am in free cam mode.

 

Suggestions?

 

EDIT - Sorry for misspelling functioning in thread title, was upset and typing fast.

 

Take care,

Heyho! Have you tried to delete controlmap.txt in your main skyrim folder? Or ControlMap_Custom.txt if you even have one. Please do a backup of it (them) just in case.

 

This file contains set keys so if the game does not find it it creates a new one. Try deletion and boot up the game.

 

On a second thought try to load an autosave too.

 

Hope I helped:)

@ mancika - Ok, I don't use autosave, so that is not an option. I don't have a controlmap.txt file, so again, not an option. However, I do have a controlmap_custom file, and even though deleting it did reset my keyboard controls, it did not fix the issue. I did try other saves, all of which work just fine, the only ones that do not work, are the save I was using the console command tm with and the quicksave of the same game save.

 

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Sorry to hear that:(

 

Another thing crossed my mind tho. If you dont have controlmap.txt you should try putting 1 in. Or you could try a hotkey mod do a save then disable the mod so it gives a certain kick. Something like this:

 

http://www.fileplanet.com/223487/download/Elder-Scrolls-V:-Skyrim---Hard-Coded-Key-Tweaks-Mod-v3.00

 

This is exactly about that txt.

 

Or this:

This in an esp based mod.

Another one, this is a prog:
