Hello Commanders 👋

Welcome to the official community board for Generals Control — the shortcut editor for Command & Conquer: Generals – Zero Hour.

This tool allows you to customize 700+ keyboard shortcuts across all armies:

• USA

• China

• GLA

You can search, filter by category, and bind keys in seconds using a clean and simple interface.

🔧 What This Tool Does

• Edits the official game option files

• Lets you rebind almost every action

• Supports import & export of configurations

• Allows players to share layouts with each other

No hacks.
No memory injection.
No background tools while playing.

It simply edits the same public configuration files provided by the game — safely and legally.

💡 Why Use It?

Better shortcuts = faster gameplay.

Whether you play casually or competitively, having a keyboard layout that matches your style can make a huge difference in speed and control.

🤝 Community

Feel free to:

• Share your custom layouts

• Suggest features

• Report bugs

• Ask questions

• Post your competitive key setups

Let’s build the best control layouts for Zero Hour together.

Thank you for supporting the project ❤️

Thank you for the tool! I just had some issues with it and hope you help me out:

1. Eventually I get an error  in the game wherever  a string is expected:  ***FATAL*** String Manager failed to initialize properly
2. I do not get the shortcut changes applied for whatever reason. I am using the EA app and GenPatcher with most of its features enabled and I use "ControlBar Pro". Not sure if these contribute to the issue
3. I would love to know which files are being updated so that I may backup them in advance; I had to repair and even full uninstall/reinstall the games (Generals and its expansion Zero Hour) multiple times when I had the issues above.

Thank you in advance!
