I figured out how to assign actions to keys like mouse wheel, mouse button 4/5, numpad5… . I also learned how to change the “fixed keys” like reset-camera-position. Log out of the game before making any changes to your preferences otherwise they will be overwritten. I cannot guarantee that any of the following will work in the new engine, I only tested the old one.
Fixed keys
Find the Login.cfg of your account, typically located at:
%localappdata%\Funcom\Anarchy Online\<hash>\Anarchy Online\Prefs\<account>\Login.cfg
Edit it with a text editor. Replace the number with the key bind of your desire (list of key codes below). For example, changing camera reset to key k, replace this line:
KEY_COMMAND_CAMERA_RESET 75
with:
KEY_COMMAND_CAMERA_RESET 92
Key bindings
Open the Prefs.xml of your character in a text editor. You can find the file at:
%localappdata%\Funcom\Anarchy Online\<hash>\Anarchy Online\Prefs\<account>\<char>\Prefs.xml
To figure out which directory belongs to which character you can do a text search for your character’s name, assuming AOIA has renamed some of your backpacks.
In that file look for a section that starts with:
<Archive name="KeyBindings" code="0">
In it you will find several blocks like these, each representing one key bind and one or more actions assigned to it:
<Archive code="0">
<Int32 name="Input" value="108" />
<Int64 name="Provider" value="2252130499" />
</Archive>
It is easiest to log into the game, assign some unique, known key bind to an action, log out and look for the key binding’s Input value in the file. Then change the value to your liking
For example, the snippet above shows Bar 01_01 assigned to 1. To change the key bind to mouse button 4, simply replace 108 with 122 and save the file:
<Archive code="0">
<Int32 name="Input" value="122" />
<Int64 name="Provider" value="2252130499" />
</Archive>

For modifier keys, simply add the following value to the key code:
SHIFT = 2^17 = 131072
CTRL = 2^18 = 262144
ALT = 2^19 = 524288
CTRL+SHIFT = 2^17 + 2^18 = 393216
CTRL+ALT = 2^18 + 2^19 = 786432
ALT+SHIFT = 2^19 + 2^17 = 655360
CTRL+ALT+SHIFT = 2^18 + 2^19 + 2^17 = 917504
