sadly there is no real way to do this, there's some mods that attempt workarounds but nothing that really works. personally I ended up binding it to one of my mouse buttons and holding that down most of the time, but I use a razer naga so I've buttons to spare

This was doable on my keyboard, however it may not be the best thing to do as it's probably not good for most keyboards.Frozeal wrote...
Put a coin between the end of the keyboard and tab key.

and create a .ahk file.
Insert:
#IfWinActive Dragon Age: Origins
Tab::
if (Stroke "{TAB down}")
Stroke := "{TAB down}"
else
Stroke := "{TAB up}"
Send %Stroke%
Now, whenever you punch TAB, it will be permanently on. Next punch will turn it off.
This works perfectly fine wth DA, and since it's only on when you're playing DA:O, you can just have the script on autostart.
Edit: Maybe sb. with webspace can host the .exe version of that script and just post it as MOD or whatever.
If you get the .exe, you don't even need autohotkey.

Thank you :happy:
I'll attach the stand-alone .exe, if anyone is

This is a great alternative, thanks!

Maybe... when I did that with other keys for I don't remember which games, I was not in my current laptop, but in a pc with an old keyboard.Psymayn wrote...

I mapped it to the key 'x' and it was pretty convenient.
Exactly the same thing I did (and to the button 5 on my mouse too). Works like a charm if you run with W and drive with right mouse button. Highlited all the time is a bit too much for me. I'd rather control when it is on.
And with the mouse button and running/driving with left+right mouse button I can have my left hand free for smoking a cig, for instance.

The only key that can be on and locked is the Cap Lock Key.
Scroll Lock and Num Lock come to my mind first.

(I can tap the normal tab key to unlock tab if I want to)

That didn't work for me >_>

What I did was I mapped the tab key to an extra mouse button which is accessible by the thumb.
