Key Binds: A Guide To Changing Them

[WIREDMichael]

Today's patch includes the ability to change keybinds! The following is a temporary system while the team works on a permanent in-game UI! We want to get this functionality into your hands as soon as possible, but a good UI takes time.

A new key rebinding file can be found at the following file location (next to the game’s save files):

%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Rogue Sun/Tin Hearts/PlayerProfiles/<64BitSteamID>/KeyboardMap.json

Inside that document, players will find many pairs of actions and keybindings (currently limited to single keyboard buttons - this will be expanded upon soon!). To change keys, players must change the “KeyCode” field to their desired remapping. For example, if a player wants to change the “Move Forward” key to the letter ‘Z’, the mapping pair should read:

        {
            "ActionName": "Move Forward",
            "KeyCode": "Z"
        },

Some additional notes:

• If the game is open while this file is changed, the game will need to be restarted to apply these changes.
  
• If this file is corrupt (i.e. not formatted correctly), the keybinds will reset to their default values, so make sure you take a backup!
  
• You can also use Alt+Movement keys to change the rotation of blocks, instead of the Z, X, and C buttons!
  
• If you later wish to return your keybinds to their default values, simply delete the KeyboardMap.json file.

If you have any trouble with this remapping process, please reply to this thread and we’ll be on hand to help!

Below is a full list of eligible keys. Please note that the numbers displayed next to the text are a code that can be used as a replacement for the written word. To remap to the number buttons, players should use the “Alpha0” through “Alpha9” words displayed below.

Thanks for providing a way to remap keys!

"Rotate Right" does not seem to be working with the R key. The KeyboardMap.json file I'm currently using is here: https://github.com/adeilt/esdf/blob/master/TinHearts/KeyboardMap.json

Using W for "Rotate Left" works and the other keys I've tested seem ok, but R paired with "Rotate Right" isn't working.

well thank for the post but i does not work. I've tried using the letter and after that the codes provided here, but when starting the game i'm still lock with the default controls :(
Hope the remap function will comme soon, in the meantime i'll uninstall the game and put it in my "to play later" list.

What about changing VR keybinds? Hitting the left menu button brings up the game's menu, not the steam vr menu, so I don't see a way to remap them.
