Go to Options > Sound and set "Voice Communication Style" to "Push to Talk".

>How do I limit my FPS?
Open the console and type fps_max [your desired value], for example fps_max 60.
The game won't save this setting (I think), so to persist it, write that into a new line in the left4dead2/cfg/autoexec.cfg text file.
