    While I agree with this thread, this is already being worked on at the moment and isn't really needed.

    +1 anyways but just lettin y'all know.

    I'm left handed, playing the game with my right hand on WASD makes it very uncomfortable and usually means I'll hit the wrong key.

    Great support from everyone. I'm sure the devs will add keymapping asap. Let's keep this thread going!

    Wow. This is amazing news. We should have an update to correct the keybinding situation very soon. I want to say a huge thank you to the developers for listening. You guys are amazing! Keep up the beautiful work!

    I can't imagine this won't get added at a later stage in the game development, but gets my thumbs up. Already threw away one gold pickaxe without noticing ;P

    I'm sure they'll get to it soon. For now this script running software solved my issue, http://www.autohotkey.com I hope this helps!

    Yep. I think we can call all the posts and petitions about keybindings a success. Great job everyone and thank you devs!

    CaleGibbard Yeah, You!

    +1 for getting something rudimentary in ASAP. The main solution for this problem on Linux is using xmodmap in a shell script to remap keys before and after running the game, and that is kind of obnoxious if you want to be able to tab out and still use your computer while the game is running. All the keys you bound are globally remapped to various letters, so you won't be able to use your arrow keys and probably a bunch of keys around them.

    It also doesn't really solve the issue that I'd really like the Up arrow key to be both "Jump" and "Shorten Grappling Hook" depending on context, though that's somewhat separate.

    The developers are already working on this.

    Eichewawa Yeah, You!

    Not gonna lie, being able to switch between techs on the fly would be pretty amazing. +1 in hopes of that.

    I'm kinda confused on why there was a need for a petition in the first place. Pretty sure Chucklefish has never gone out saying that key binding would never be added, just mostly that binding fell under the bus for beta, devs got a lot on their plate right?
