Keybinding with work around

I highly recommend adding key binding which is very simple in the mean time I made a quick script for those that prefer arrow keys
Just download AutoHotKey open a text editor (notepad is good) and save is at something like StarboundScript.ahk right click and click edit this script and paste this in

#IfWinActive Starbound
{
NumpadSub::Suspend
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 200
up::w
down::s
left::a
right::d
Rshift::MButton
RControl::Control
}

Save the script and run it as an administrator and it'll work

 

Thanks. I will give this a try

 

Totally aewsome find, it works like a charm!

Quick tutorial to set everybody up:

#IfWinActive Starbound
{
NumpadSub::Suspend
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 200
up::w
down::s
left::a
right::d
Rshift::MButton
RControl::Space
Enter::e
}

This is my scripf file. As you can see, I bound "jump" (space) to right control and "use" (e) to enter. To add and customize your list, follow this link: http://l.autohotkey.net/docs/KeyList.htm
It gives you a full list to every supported key. If you want to add a key, simply write your preferred key to the LEFT, then two times : , and to the RIGHT the key the game uses.

Example: remapping jump, which has space as default hotkey, to Numpad 0.

Numpad0::Space

Numpad0 - the key you want to use to the left
::
Space - the key which you want to remp.

IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind, as long as the script is running your keys will ALWAYS be remapped! So to follow my example, if I rebind e to Enter, I wont have a enter key anymore (itll write ´e´ instead). To kill the script simply close all instances of AutoHotkey with the task manager

 

Very useful, thanks!

 

works for me thanks a lot!

 

I changed some options but this is basically what I'm using now and it's great.

 

pretty nice tool, can even assign stuff to mouse button 4 & 5 with lines like
XButton2::Space

 

Hmm, I hadn't thought of this, but this is just what I need because the default keys aren't very handy to me. WASD is perfect, but the rest... I need inventory on TAB and other stuff. Gonna play around with it.

Thanks.

EDIT: one thing I'll do is to assign control to crouch, and S to a macro to drop down from platforms in one key press. Makes more sense to me.

 

Done. I'm posting it in case anyone needs to know how to do the little trick I did with the S key.

Code:

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

#IfWinActive Starbound
{
    NumpadSub::Suspend
    #MaxHotkeysPerInterval 200

; drop down platforms (S)
    s::
        Send {s Down}
        Send {Space}
        Sleep, 100  ;500 seems too long and skips some platforms if too close to each other
                    ;50 seems to not drop sometimes
        Send {s Up}
    return

;Crouch
    Ctrl::s

;Inventory
    Tab::i

; Swap handheld
    Mbutton::x

;Observe
    f::N

;Swap hands
    XButton1::z
    q::z

;Drop item
    \::q

;Pan view
XButton2::Control
}
