Key rebinding

If you find it awkward to use spacebar to jump, you haven't played very many pc games with jumping...

 

definitely the biggest issue I have with the game so far

 

Add me to the list of folks who cannot play this game without changing the keybindings.

Please add this as soon as possible, it's pretty much unplayable for me at the moment.

 

Jump on space feels wierd.

Ive always had my controls like this. Jump on left shift, crouch on left ctrl, spring on space.

It was the same even in World of warcraft of all games. They wont allow you to bind jump to shift so annoying lol.

 

Some of the keys are downright inconvenient, I for inventory being the most, but L for the log isn't good either. Plus the active item swap keys X and Z, those are a pain.

I'm surprised that the option isn't there, but this IS beta...

 

*starts TAB button for inventory campaign*

no but um on a more realistic note does any one know if it would be possible to just go into a config file and change the keys like that? if i new which file was for controls and where it is. would be a nice little quick fix till the rebinding got added in for people comfortable to do that

 

I am left handed AND I use a laptop, therefore it is damn near impossible for me to play this game, I do try, but a game shouldn't be hard to control.

I would really appreciate key rebinding as quick as possible...Its pretty much essential

 

Most other games let you rebind the keys. Why would you criticise me? You want the option to rebind keys too...

 

I wasn't criticizing you, or criticizing anyone's desire to change the key bindings. I was merely pointing out that the vast majority of games that I've played that have a jump function, spacebar is what is the default. That's all I'm saying.

 

guess i'm going to play Project m 3.0 until then.... I had and auto key script working but it's random... and I need to wait for to get into the game actually to where I can test it... I don't have the patience right now...

 

I remember a dev posting how they're a lefty (but play righty) and they will be adding it eventually. So, kinda calm down. I'll find the post if I can, gimme a bit.

 

I've been using a G13 gameboard and using that to bind the keys how I like, but it's surprising customizable keys aren't yet a feature of the base game considering how easy they would be to add.

The very first thing I did in my bindings was to completely unbind "Q". No more throwing your diamond pickaxe into the lava when you slip over by one key!

 

Yeah. I keep starting it up after each update to see if they've added it yet. Disappointment every time :\

 

FYI, Tiy posted on his twitter (twitter.com/Tiyuri) an image of what is obviously a WIP control binding menu a few days ago.

More than likely the control config is going to make it into the next update, if he's posting information publicly about it when he knows everyone who wants said feature is going to foam at the mouth until it gets released, lol. And considering the number of updates we've gotten in only 10 days, the next update is probably going to be here within a few days, week at most, if I had to hazard a guess.

For everyone lamenting the terrible woe of being unable to play, try to remember it's not even been 2 weeks since the beta opened up, so try to be patient as the dev team gets to everyone's (100,000+ players) varying requests. :O It sucks not having the controls the way we want, believe me, I know, lol. But...

We all know a team of this caliber is not going to leave us out in the cold on something like this. And it hasn't even been 2 weeks, so let's try and be patient!

*edit* Also I have personally gotten Autohotkey working to rebind keys, as I posted elsewhere in this thread. So if anyone really just can't wait, give it a shot. It's really easy to use.

 

Yeah I hate that Q is throw item. It's normally what I map to inventory so I end up tossing items all the time and not noticing until it's too late.

 

We're now 2 months since that pic on twitter was posted, yet I'm not finding a rebind menu anywhere.
Haven't been able to really play the game because I can't rebind my keys.

 

Here. This is the only way to go about it so far. Plus this is an old thread, and by now a duplicate in a way.

that link is actually pinned at the top of the forum....
