I'm more used to config 1, since I always use my left hand to attack, and my right hand to move. Both key configs have the keys very close to each other, but it's the only to stop your hand from conflicting with the other player's hands.

I've got the current CVS and I'm still trying to get used to the new key combos - no net melee for me until that happens, kids  . Anyhow, hopefully, they can still be configurable enough and you won't have to accept a default key set.

This is with respect to 0.6, yes, not 0.7.
Also, 0.6 (actually, current CVS) will let you remap keys at will in the setup menu. The interface for this isn't exactly wonderful, but it will at least let you do the basics without mucking around with keys.cfg. To change controls, go to Setup, then Configure Controls, then Edit Controls. You can then change a control by selecting it and pushing the key you want at the popup dialog.
It's a bit inflexible (only two gestures allowed per action) and counterintuitive (you have to go through more selections than you should) at the moment, but it's there and we're looking at eventually replacing the interface with something more flexible. That's going to involve more UI work than 0.6 should have, though, so it's going to wait.

I must still be in the dark ages; I use the defaults from Star Control 1:
q = special
w = left
e = right
r = thrust
t = fire

Now, how hard would it be to have multple keys mapped? In other words, use FEDS for controls, and Q or T for fire, A or G for special. That way lefies or righties can just use their pick withtout reconfiguring.
Me, I vote WADS. Don't know why, FEDS is more like the player 1 config.

Up until a month ago, I still used the nm,./ key config from starcontrol 1:
n = special
m = left
, = right
. = thrust
/ = fire
Now I use:
~ = special
1 = left
2 = right
numpad / = thrust
numpad * = fire
basically the same key combo, only this one lets me hold my hands further apart, which is better for ergonomics. I would say though that a WASD or arrow keys combo is easier for beginners to learn and might be best for defaults.
