On certain keyboards holding down a set number of keys causes a 
keyboard error to occur. If this happens on your keyboards you 
will hear a short beep from the PC speaker. To rectify this 
simply redefine the keyboard controls to use a different set 
of keys. All of the keys are configurable from the 
config controls screen.

can change camera views using the function keys as follows:
