I like setting four keyboard buttons aranged like this:

..[]..
[][][]

DOesnt matter which ones- the actual keys are better because you have more
'other' keys around to use other stuff...

anyway assign them to the following:

move foreward
step left, move backwards, step right

Use the mouse on Mouselook, left button attack, right button attack other,
and middle button reload.

If you have a wheel, have it assigned to previous and next weapons.

set the buttons around the movement buttons to stuff like jump, use, crouch,
etc.
