There is key binding on the popup screen before you load the game but it doesn't work correctly.
The up and down arrow keys are hard coded to the height controls.
If you bind the arrow keys to movement none of the arrow keys will move the screen.
On my keyboard the Home, Del, End, Page down keys are above the arrow keys. I tried these. All these keys will move the screen but the del key is also hard coded to the del function and will do that even if rebound.

Great description of the problem, having exactly the same issue here and haven't found a solution.

You can re-bind the keys but in-game the re-bound keys don't function as expected.

If movement is re-bound to the arrow keys the left and rght key has no action when pressed and the up and down arrows still are bound to the camera height.

Other keys also are hard bound to functions. The delete key is bound to the delete function even when unbound on binding box.

It's a small thing but for me as a left handed person the game is pretty unplatable right now.

Received a quick response from their Support Team saying a patch was in the works, sadly today's 130mb update didn't resolve things for me and re-binding the arrow keys still doesn't do anything.

I am on their Discord and requested a fix a couple of days ago. They have patch notes added yesterday on their Discord saying it is now updated. It isn't as of yet. I've let the dev know and he said they will continue to look into.

On a side note I found a work round. My keyboard has a numbers keypad to the right. I have enabled Numlock and have set the arrows keys on the on the numbers keypad to the directions. When setting the keys it will set it to the numbers as numlock in enabled and will work.

I use AutoHotkey to remap the keys. you create a script with the changes you want and save it to your desktop. When you want to use it, you just click the saved script and play. When your done just close the script and the keys return to normal
