Intro
Company Of Heros does not have an in game option that allows for the remaping of keys. I found a good solution posted on the relic forums (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?111795-Remapping-Hotkeys-Alternative-Solution) that was helpful.
AutoHotkey
You will need to download AutoHotkey for this to work: http://www.autohotkey.com/ if you are unfamiliar with the program start here: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/
Running the script
1) Create a new text document / or autohotkey script:



Name it coh.ahk (or something similar)


------------------------------------

2) Paste the following lines of code into your script doc:

a::left s::down d::right w::up q::Numpad0 c::a XButton1::alt ~capslock::Suspend ~capslock UP::Suspend `::Suspend ^!z:: WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, a WinMove, a, , 0, 0, % A_ScreenWidth, % A_ScreenHeight




Save your code an close out your editor.

------------------------------------

3) Double click the script to run it.

Make sure you have the game in bordered fullscreen not full screen

So I recapitulate what I do
- downloaded autohotkey and made a autohotkey script
- copied the code in the notepad and saved as COH so the script is called COH.ahk
- pasted it in the COH folder
- double clicked on it so it appears in green (so it's on) in the right corner of my screen
- started the game, continued to the next mission (starting a new campain doesn't work either)
- and nothing, quitted the game, clicked edit script and found out it works (in windows, not in the game)

the download autohot key and run it from auto hot key

It's not working, it used to work but but not anymore. I don't know what the heck I'm doing wrong, it's just copy paste right?
