Remap "enter' Key to a better location
Hello people,

has anyone had any luck with remapping the enter key to anything else as this very odd and isn't the best location to have the "accept key" IMO it would be good to have this as "space" or even "E"

if anyone has done this in the configs please can you share them as i would like to make this change,

P.S don't care what the on screen text says when playing as i don't really look at it at all.

Not yet as Im aware. This is needed badly for keyboard players. I think the devs may have only tested the game with controllers, as using esc and enter so frequently is nonsense. You cannot even bind mouse 4 or 5. Should be an easy fix whenever they get to it

I use AutoHotKey because not only can you not rebind all the keys but some don't work for all of their functions after being rebound. For example, if you rebind Shopping List it will work until you are in the store where only the default Tab works. This goes for many keys. Their controls kinda suck in that regard.

Having said that, once I set up AHK they didn't take long to master after that. If only everyone had that ability without needing third party software.

Yeah i think about AhK. You sure you done your code right? Upload this i can check it if you want :)

I concur about the Enter key issue. It is inconvenient for me as well. It is doable but inconvenient. It would be better if the Enter key was remapped somewhere on the left side of the keyboard, as I use my right hand for my mouse. Perhaps eventually the Devs will have it so we could remap our own keys to our liking.

This is a huge inconvenience. It should be "E". At least in the shop.

I just used the software that came with my mouse to assign the enter key to one of the side buttons. Problem solved.

Same issue. I`m using F key as Enter in all CMS before... We need the ability to move this button.
i agree that it should be E or space. Also i would like that the add to shopping list was alwas the same. now it is x if you are looking at the car or space if you are in your inventory/warehouse.

Do you guys want 3rd party program for that ? Before they add this to the game?

Has there been any news on if this key will be editable in the future?
Officer Payne Sep 1, 2021 @ 6:36am 
No news. I assigned enter to a mouse button with my mouse software. So far, very convenient.

I also did the mouse button reassign however, my fingers start to hurt from so much clicking. We need a mod if they won't fix it. I really would like it to have a default remapping option or changing "enter and left click" to "e" like most people have said.
I also have have G hub. Does anyone know of a way to change "Left Click and Enter" to "E" that way?

Keybinds are broken anyhow. They don't seem to care.

I also recommend AutoHotKeys. (www [dot] autohotkey [dot] com) I use this script:

e:: click Down left keywait, e click Up left return r:: click right return ^e:: Send, {Enter} return Pause::Suspend

Holding 'e' is the same as holding down left-click.
Pressing 'r' is the same as right-click.
Pressing 'ctrl+e' is the same as 'Enter'
Pressing Pause on my keyboard suspends/restarts the script (you need to suspend the script to use the in-game search - otherwise, 'e' and 'r' will not show up)
