I have generic or standard bind set for all my toons that includes an interactive menu to up load specific binds.
The standard keybind file I call keybinds0.txt is very extensive and specific to my play style.
I load the binds for the 1st time in game by typing /bindloadfile C:\games\cohbinds\keybinds0.txt; or if I am on a computer that that last toon used was one of mine that I save the keybinds to the games directory (using /bind_save command) I can upload the games last key bind set by typing /bind_load command.
Also, be careful of cut and paste keybinds, the symbol can get confused with symbol and the symbols: if you must cut and past, use a text based word program like notepad.
Here is an example of the bind menu-system used:
keybinds0.txt

Then you have to populate those text files with the keybinds you want, getting file names and locations correct.
Was this a help? Need more: go to OPERATING YOUR GAME HOW TO MAKE THINGS GO and Compiled List of Binds

Is there any way to create a custom keybind group for movement and other mechanics keys? If I attempt to import keybinds.txt, it tells me I can only make remaps per file. Alternatively, is there any way to make a keyset for the dropdown menu?

I'm not sure about the error you've been getting, but I've created a basid, default keybind file for all new alts. I load it up first thing for everyone. The keybind set and basic instructions can be found here: Universal Keyboard
In short, I created a file called "keys_def.txt" and place that into my CoH directory. When I'm ready, the following command loads up the file:
/bindloadfile "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\keys_def.txt"
To create your own file, you use the /bindsave command which generates a base "keybinds.txt" file. You edit that with notepad (or any basic text editor) then rename it to some kind of default file.
Best of luck.

I make a bunch of alts all the time. Is there any way to create a custom keybind group for movement and other mechanics keys? If I attempt to import keybinds.txt, it tells me I can only make remaps per file. Alternatively, is there any way to make a keyset for the dropdown menu?
