Keybinding Guide

[Sensei]

Special notes
Keyboard has a special binding for triggering magicks via elemental queue called “cast_magick”. When playing with gamepad, the trigger for casting magicks via elemental queue uses the “imbune_weapon” event instead.


There are also some things that can't be rebound like mouse movement (Left)



These are buttons that you should be able to bind. Keep in mind that some buttons and combinations can make the game unplayable. So changing this is at your own risk.


If you would want to reset to the default keybindings then delete the user_settings.config file and start the game, a new user_settings.config file will be generated.

Patch notes for Patch 1.0.1.1 can be found in this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/238370/discussions/0/615085406657219904/

On gamepad, rebinding LB function is not currently available.

Could a keybinding ingame be implemented please?

As stated on a number of places, we're working furiously to bring some kind of in-game UI for this.

[FallenG0D]

By the way when the custom keys will be implemented please let me keep using it the way i just set them, like in magicka 1 melee weapon and imbue with shift left click and aoe with shift right and self cast on "v" since i don't have a working middle mouse button.
Please developers

Thank you for adding this as a temporary solution. I'm glad we get this while we wait for an in-game menu to be added instead of waiting with no solution.

I really like the method of keybinding you have implemented, but the only change I really really really want to do to my bindings right now is invert the mouse buttons. :(

LMB = shoot.
RMB = walk.

This is how I used it in M:WW and it feels more natural to me because it is consistent with FPS games I play (LMB=shoot) and RTS games I play (RMB=walk).

Same here.

Seems like its driver dependant, not all mouse drivers seem to trigger the extra buttons for some reason.

To switch RMB/LMB locate the spell_forward and spell_forward_hold entires in the config. Change press_button from "right" to "left". Then locate the move entry and change press_button from "left" to "right".

They do work. Here is an example of using 5th mouse button for melee (also known IE Forward to some mouse drivers):

		imbue_weapon = {
			key = "mouse_extra_2"
			state = "pressed"
		}
		melee_attack = {
			key = "mouse_extra_2"
			state = "pressed"
		}

Do the numpad buttons work for anyone? I tried to change the middle mouse to numpad 4 and didnt seem to work :(

They do work. Changing the mouse buttons are a little tricky with how they operate with shift.

It took me a bit of analysing and experimenting to understand the format of the file and how it works and it's amazing how much you can break the game with screwing around with that file. At one point the enemies would only move if I had the right mouse button held down, but I couldn't cast spells and got stuck in a earth projectile charge-up. *shrugs* No idea how that happened.

I'm going to post my setup in a second. Let me know exactly what you are trying to do and maybe I can help.

[Kelriega]

Here are the bindings that I am using that eliminates the awful shift key (shift now does nothing). It appears to be working well and makes casting certain combinations a lot quicker (but for whatever reason makes the game slightly laggier when casting certain things from what I can tell).

The only changes are:
v is melee
middle mouse is AoE
mouse 4 is self-cast
shift doesn't have any effect

Possible to make control for a gamepad like what it was in Magicka?
