This must be the most frequently asked hint, but I haven't personally found
those configurations that have been posted here any good. So, here is my
(and a couple of my friends) key config, which seems to work well at least with
the keyboard & finger control I have:

Q=Forward
S=Reverse
TAB=Bank on
LALT=Slide on

+those not needed all the time:
SPC=Automap
Caps Lock=Rear view

That is for left hand, and right hand uses joystick or mouse. I like 'slide on'
better than separate slide keys because then you have an analog slide, which is
very nice in a tight battle situation giving very accurate aiming & still chance
for a fast evade (not to mention that you don't run out of fingers).
