Rebind Keys

[TEXO]

Yes, it would be nice to be able to rebind the keys to something more convenient.

And to disable any extra controller plugged in if ones want to play with keyboard and mice. Because at this time, the game accept all input source. (I could simply physically unplug the controller, but I’m too lazy )

[WilsonMG]

I had to unplug a joystick for the same reason…

Yes, we will have rebinding keys sooner or later, don´t worry about it. Right now you will find a help option in the main menu with the fixed keys, but you will be able to change the keys for your self in a later stage of beta or at least in the final game.

Hi

I have played the beta and I am massively impressed with it but WASD does my head in.

Has anyone tried re-binding the keys with Autohotkey?

I just had a go and it didn’t work but I have to confess that I don’t really know what I’m doing. I just took a Fallout4 script and changed the name to KCD_Beta. If anyone knows how to make this work I would appreciate it as a stop-gap.

Thanks!

I mada a solution with autohotkey, see:

Howto - play beta with mouse instead of WASD

Hi! Because other players have problems with WASD control and another ask about autohotkey I post my solution to play with mouse - mostly for the old-school players, like me :-): Works perfect. With this mod you can play “right mouse button” as “forward”, mouse movement as left/right and Lctrl or Strg and LAlt as "Strafe left/right. 3rd mouse button as “fast forward”. Change it for your needs. Install autohotkey Go to your windows user dir: /own documents There you find “AutoHotkey.ahk”, re…

Mans who can’t play WASD which keys do u use?

[danielus]

None, movement with mouse, and left hand free. That’s how 1st person play started. Many times faster then WASD, but I do and will not start a disc. about that. Everybody should try whats better.

Please do NOT forget to include rebinding for the consoles as well

[ProkyBrambora]

To add to @DrFusselpulli statement.
We actually already have rebinding function in our dev. version. So no need to worry about that.

As to rebinding on console controllers, well… let’s wait till they develop more sofisticated device… like, keyboard and mouse, for example

i am left handed. usually i use the mouse in left hand for direction and l/r button attack/block with wheel to zoom. with right hand i use arrow keys for direction and number pad keys for skills. this is on a standard cherry style keyboard.

is there an option to remap keys in game yet?

[DrFusselpulli]

Not yet, sorry.

[jedt]

thank you for the prompt reply. is there an eta for this?

[Lieste]

It is in the development version, so we’ll see it at release. No changes to the beta though.

[Psycho_V]

I use the arrow keys for all games. I find it easier than the WASD which tends to end up having me fat finger all surrounding keys (big hands).
For what it’s worth, the ability to rebind keys makes a huge difference to my gaming experience.

[jedt]

i agree…

if i could rebind keys i would buy it.

[Tsunamik]

Why is this discussion still thing? Of course key rebinds will be in game, so there is no reason to still complain about it lol.

Hallo,
ich bin auch Linkshänder und wünsche mir auch eine freie Tastenwahl !
Bitte Patchen

[DrFusselpulli]

Zum finalen Release wird es die Möglichkeit geben die Tasten frei zu belegen. In der Beta ist das Feature leider noch nicht drin.

[Psycho_V]

I wasn’t complaining. I was just mentioning how much I value the option.
