Keybinding

[Buktu]

Seriously, "25 years in the making", 8 years in production and although I bind an alternate key for "activate" I can only use "E" to do anything? I use the arrow keys to walk and want to use "Num 0" intead of E. Does not work.

Anyone else with this problem?

I've been a PC gamer since 1993 (386SX16) and, although I am right hand dominant, I cannot use a mouse in that hand. Using WASD has always felt awkward so I have always used the arrow keys. I have tried using controllers (I even bought Steams' controller) but I cannot get on with them either. As well as the problems that Buktu has mentioned, remapping the movement keys is also next to impossible. You can't change 'that' key because it conflicts with 'this' action, it renders the "alternative key" column pretty much f****ng useless. Another AAA game ruined because of a lack of forethought, a game that will probably eventually be uninstalled and forgotten about.

Actually the alternative key did not work.
That means
activate = first key "E", alternative "Num 0" does not work for Num 0
activate = first key "Num 0" alternative empty does work

Any one know how to SAFE the new Keybindings? Mine reset every time I start the game.

I didn't actually get as far as testing. The "forward" key is bound to several other actions and quickly got very complicated when attempting to remap them. The same also for "back" "left" and "right" (actually, trying to remap the "right" button refused to allow an alternative button). I gave up because I do not want to go over the "you've played for 2 hours and therefore must like the game" restriction imposed by our overlords. So, I'll either attempt a refund or consign it to my "try again in 6 to 12 months, see if there's any improvement" list. Good luck Buktu

I am trying to eat pizza with my left hand and want to explore mouse only. Want to bind E butting to mouse 5 for that, autorun at mouse 4. Cannot even put an alternate key for activate (E). Ah well.

This is why fit-girl exists. Try before you buy.

I would recommend a good Razer keyboard. With the software you can switch any key each other as you want. You can use as many profiles as want for every game.

Did you try it in the config file?
That usually works for all Bethesda games.

i am a left handed player(video games ar just not built for us) i have learned to use a MMO type mouse to adjust the buttons, i also use autohotkey app to change arrow keys to WASD. i use a strike 7 cyborg keyboard that is old and they dont sell it anymore it has 5 map-able buttons around the arrow keys. problem is in BGS games the autohotkey app causes bugs and glitches so you have to live with them.
BGS has always been a controller over M&KB company thus why they have keyboard mapping issues and bugs with it. i have found any company that designs their game this way does the exact same thing.

I didn't know that you can't customise some keys. Is it just the one. Bethesda have always been bad for the left hander, that's why I now have a programable mouse and keyboard.

I'm a lefty and always bind my walking keyes to arrows, all E action I have remapped to Enter, works perfectly.
