BG3 Keybind file?

[Mozie]

Anyone know where the file is for keybinds? I either need to delete/manually edit it. I accidentally goofed up my keybinds and now I can't left click anything. So basically the game is unplayable unless I use a controller. And I can't fix it since I can't select anything in the menus either.

Edit: Never mind I found it. If anyone has the same issue just go to

C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles\Public

There were 4 inputconfig files. I just removed them and now it's back to default.

I simply changed a key in the keyboard assignment, then the file came

Yeah i always wonder why they do not put enter as another confirmation key beside left mouse:S Is usually a common sense. So i could just press enter for yes and stuff:D

Surprisingly easy access thanks to that, is it not?

So, if you, like me, spent way too long messing with key binds to want to delete them, you can follow these additional steps. Edit the key bind with notepad or similar text editor.
Below is a sample of my own instance of this same missing key bind, "Action1". You can see that I hit "mouse:left" while trying to set "CameraRotateLeft" and have no alternate key.

{
   "Action1" : [[ "c:a", "key:unknown" ]],
   "CameraBackward" : [[ "c:leftstick_ypos", "key:s", "key:unknown" ]],
   "CameraCenter" : [[ "key:kp_8" ]],
   "CameraForward" : [[ "c:leftstick_yneg", "key:w", "key:unknown" ]],
   "CameraLeft" : [[ "c:leftstick_xneg", "key:a", "key:unknown" ]],
   "CameraRight" : [[ "c:leftstick_xpos", "key:d", "key:unknown" ]],
   "CameraRotateLeft" : [[ "c:rightstick_xpos", "key:q", "mouse:left" ]],

Below is the same sample string corrected to restore game functionality.

{
   "Action1" : [[ "c:a", "key:unknown", "mouse:left" ]],
   "CameraBackward" : [[ "c:leftstick_ypos", "key:s", "key:unknown" ]],
   "CameraCenter" : [[ "key:kp_8" ],
   "CameraForward" : [[ "c:leftstick_yneg", "key:w", "key:unknown" ]],
   "CameraLeft" : [[ "c:leftstick_xneg", "key:a", "key:unknown" ]],
   "CameraRight" : [[ "c:leftstick_xpos", "key:d", "key:unknown" ]],
   "CameraRotateLeft" : [[ "c:rightstick_xpos", "key:q" ]],  

Keep in mind the double brackets. I hope this helps, good luck.

I think just deleting the file is easier, but sure. You do you.

This happened to me thanks to the moron that wrote the most unusable key assignment interface in the history of software. Unfortunately, there are no keybind files in the aforementioned folder. In fact, there is nothing in that folder other than the Savegames folder. There are no keybind files anywhere that I can find. I'm guessing they moved the location since this was posted?

Update: After rebooting and restarting the game several times, it suddenly launched as though it were the first time and took me through the initial config screens, And then all was well. When I looked in the Public folder, all four inputconfig files were then there. I assure you I never deleted them myself. Its just plain bizarre. I will have to investigate further but it's almost as though having made the change in-game, it removed those files and created a new one elsewhere. Then, who knows what happened to that one, corruption? And it finally regenerated new ones in the original place. Most perplexing thing ever, but now the files are there and the game is fixed. I only put all this here for posterity, just in case it happens to anyone else.
