    Here you are, I linked in that post my keybindings it may help you to figure this out.

    By the way, if you want an easier way to bind your keys, you may wanna try the Starbound Keybinder

    I hope this will be useful !

    Hi all!
    I have a few questions I'm hoping somebody will be able to answer for me...

    What do the following actions actually DO?
    PlayerShifting,
    PlayerTechAction(s),
    CockpitUp/Down/Left/Right,
    InterfaceSwapHands,
    InterfaceBarNPos

    I tried messing around with them a bit and I can't seem to distinguish between them:confused:

    Also, I am curious if it is possible to swap the direction you're looking with just a button, and toggle the 'InterfaceInspectCursor' action on/off. With the inspect cursor one (I am not sure if this is the case for others) when I press it once, the only way to get out of it is to select something. Pressing the button again won't deselect it. And it's been a while since the big discussions, so I have to ask, has the warp action or the multi-button press keys been implemented yet? Not a big deal but would be nice in case I missed it somewhere.

    Thanks in advance; I'm trying to set up a ps3 controller configuration and I was curious.

    It would be nice if we got a Key Bindings tab in Settings in the full version of the game...

    Okay, so, it sounds like mouse-bindings are incomplete; but I have to throw my 2¢ in here:

    Please don't just allow us to bind keys to more mouse buttons; allow us the *opposite*, to bind the left and right tool to keys. I *hate* playing with mice (I often like to play in bed on my laptop; and trackpad-clicking is the *least* gaming-compatible thing ever conceived by mankind. (I always play games like this, or minecraft, with WSAD for movement, and Q/E as the “action” keys, in place of mouse-buttons.

    I hope that sometime in the future there will be a proper full and extensive menu that'll allow us to bind all sorts of keys, as well as any extra/custom keys some may have. Good work so far, though; I'll try rebinding my keys since I have a tendency to use everything on the right side of the keyboard - I'm left handed and I use the mouse with my left hand so, heh...

    Is there any way to edit the possible keys?
    I have a Norwegian keyboard, and I want to use å ø æ ' instead of w a s d.
    I know that å is 221, ø is 192, æ is 222 and ' is 191.

    So it seems this was put in place in February and nothing has changed since then? When is a GUI going to be put in the game for this? Changing keybinds is incredibly cumbersome, especially considering how awful you have the config file formatted. It's like you didn't use carriage return at all. I last played the game back in January and due to the awful keybinds, had to stop. When will we see this fixed?

    This is it for now. If anyone can't get it to work, look at the log file. It tells you what you got wrong.

    Will you ever add apostrophe?

    Will a gui be added in the next update? Or by 1.0?

    Sadly there was no indication of this on the recent "roadmap blog".

    Hello, I have a problem and i would like help. I currently play on a roleplay server. I've been using a keybinder, But i keep changing "ChatSendLine" to something because enter wouldn't work. And no matter what i set it to it doesn't work! I can't play on the server until i can get this fixed. When i click it, it does nothing. Any help would be nice! -Carmine
