This is a mod to enable doing heavy strikes (both sword and fist) with only the right mouse button (no more alternate key), while preserving the functionality of guard and riposte/counter-attack. It can be installed simply with two versions, depending on your preference. The first only adds heavy attack functionality to the right mouse, and doesn't effect the specials or riposte/counter-attack command. The second version adds special attack (ie Rend) to holding the right mouse button, and switches the guard/riposte(counter-attack) key to 'e' while in combat.
