Problems with keybinds

I have an old character which I created when I was using an old computer which I created keybinds for. I have a new computer but the new keybinds i have created work for new characters that I have created on my new computer, but not for my old character which I created using my old computer. I could fix this problem but using my old computer and using the ent_keybinds file which I have stored on it but it's not working anymore, and it doesn't matter how many times I save the ent_keybind file or bind_load on my new computer nothing happens to my old character. Effectively it seems the old ent_keybinds file that are located on my old computer is still in effect and I can't overide it with a new file. Anyway around this?

P.S. Hope the problem makes sense

    "/unbind_all" should reset all of your keybinds to default so that you can start over from scratch.

    You could also remake all those character-specific binds, or using /bind key "" (no space between the quotes) will remove any bind associated with the key.

    O boy!

    /Unbind_all was working at first but for some reason it has completely stopped working. I can actually change all the keybinds but up to a point. Heres my code:

    AB +up
    XB +PowerTrayExec 0
    YB +PowerTrayExec 1
    BB +PowerTrayExec 2
    RTrigger +PowerTrayExec 3
    Start +PowerTrayExec 4
    LTrigger +PowerTrayExec 5
    Lb +PowerTrayExec 6
    Select +PowerTrayExec 7
    RTrigger+XB +PowerTrayExec 8
    RTrigger+AB +PowerTrayExec 9

    I can alter everything up to RTrigger+XB then everything goes crazy. For some reason RTrigger+XB and RTrigger+AB both have PowerTrayExec 3 as their power and thats the same for RTrigger+BB and RTrigger+YB and the strange thing is I haven't even written any code for it. There is also this strange interaction where sometimes PowerTrayExec 8 and 9 work but they are interrupted by PowerTrayExec 3.

    Another strange thing is I have tried changing them seperately eg /bind RTrigger+XB +PowerTrayExec 16...that works and it works with PowerTrayExec 0. I haven't tried any others but it just seems to hate PowerTrayExec 7 and anything above it.

    What's happening is that you have RTrigger set to +PowerTrayExec 3, but you are also trying to chord it with the face buttons and the old bind is taking precedence.

    When it comes to using a trigger or other control as a "Shift" key, it is best to bind it to null ("") so that it doesn't trigger another command.

    My bottom row looks something like this:

    Ltrigger +PowerTrayExec 16
    Xb +PowerTrayExec 0
    Yb +PowerTrayExec 1
    Bb +PowerTrayExec 2
    Ab +up
    Rtrigger ""
    Rtrigger+Xb +PowerTrayExec 3
    Rtrigger+Yb +PowerTrayExec 4
    Rtrigger+Bb +PowerTrayExec 5
    Rtrigger+Ab +PowerTrayExec 6
    Lb+Rtrigger +PowerTrayExec 14
