I tried to play the game (i'm left handed) and even if it's a beta, i thought i would find this option. For people with disabilities, for left handed, for comfort, it's a must have in a PC game. Could you please try to implement this quickly?
I had the same problem in Wanderlust which is collecting dust in my "never touch this again" Steam section. Please let us rebind the keys. I never have and I never will play a game with WSAD controls.
I agree with this completely. Being a lefty, it is excruciatingly difficult and off-putting to try to play a game using the right-handed controls. Please implement key binding customization ASAP!
Gonna second this (third) thread about key mapping. Autokey doesn't seems to work properly with Starbound so we can't even remap with a third party program.
Here here. I can't use the WASD layout comfortably, and it really does hinder my enjoyment of the game.
ALL of the above. (Including Wanderlust; I tried the tutorial, found out the controls were unusable, and wished I could delete the game from my Steam inventory.) Such a basic, fundamental structure. There is no Options submenu, no alterable defaults in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\starbound.config", and AutoHotkey doesn't work for this specific executable, either. Very disappointed. Any OS should have full input configuration. (Keyboard layout, mouse handedness, etc.) Any program reliant on input that is not common to the OS(es) it runs on should have it's own built in configuration. (Hotkeys, movement / actions, etc.) User inputs are NOT all the same. Hopefully this is fixed soon.
I hope it's added soon but I don't know how realistic that hope is - when they first showed screenshots of the option menu (back in June?) people were already requesting a 'Controls' tab/subsection for it, and here we are in December with nothing.
WSAD might be the standard in games now but I cannot use it. But then again most games support changing controls in some way.
Well, they *are* quite busy. Could simply have been an oversight. (I'd say it could be a low priority, but yeah, you'd think they would have done it by now with all the content and laborious code already added.) They certainly seem to have UX / UI in mind, after all. Especially, for instance, this: http://playstarbound.com/16th-august-progress/ We'll certainly see if / when a developer replies, or config options are added in an update. ;]
Indeed, please add a config file (or just the necessary options in the starbound.config file) or an in-game menu to change the controls. With regards to Autohotkey. I am using it right now (just as i had to for the few programs that are good enough to warrant jumping through such hoops) and remapped wasd to qwed, etc. So it does work with Starbound; but with my settings it changes the keys for all programs and windows so i need to be extra careful when switching tasks. Annoying.
I think they will add it regardless of this thread, because it's such a basic thing in every game. Would be really stupid if they thought people don't need it.
I really hope this is implemented quickly. I never got into terraria, but this game just has a better overall premise to me....but I need to change keys for some things, its driving me nuts. I just hope this is implemented quickly as I really wont delve in until I can change the keys.
YES just yes. As a left-Handed gamer myself this is a big issue and i'm hoping for a fix soon. Anyway Thanks 4 reading
Good Lord, PLEASE, I need to rebind the keys! I'm Left-Handed, I can't play with WASD, I NEED the arrow keys! I just paid the $14.99 for Beta on Steam and I can't even do anything because of this.
I can't even play the game as my "right" key on WASd doesnt work, the only reason I'm able to type with it is because I keep the key on Ctrl V, so I dont have to spell everything wrong.
