recommended key bindings

[Crimson]

Can anyone recommend a particular keyboard binding that is most comfortable to use? The default bindings are a little annoying to me so if anyone has a recommendation I would really appreciate it thanks

This patch: http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134733
Includes a set of pre-made key bindings you can load from within the controls menu.

If none of those are to your liking I can tell you my own binds (which I've pretty much got perfect by now).

I have tried some of the bindings in the patch but not all of them, but out of curiosity I want to know your bindings if you don't mind and thanks for the help I appreciate it

Hello there .o/

Just in case you'd want to know mines too (well, the most used ones that I may have somehow modified from original) :
Numpad 7 => lean left
Numpad 8 => lean forward
Numpad 9 => lean right
Numpad 4 and ← => turn left
Numpad 5 => walk forward (slowly)
Numpad 6 and → => turn right
Numpad 1 => strafe left
Numpad 2 and ↓ => walk backwards
Numpad 3 => strafe right
Numpad 0 => block
Numpad "." => center view

Wait

Let me guess


Left-handed?

Mine:
w -run forward, although you may prefer walk forward.
asd - slide left back slide right
q - lean left
e - lean right
c and x - toggle crouch
space - jump
shift - speed toggle
f6 and f7 - lockpicks
f5 - quicksave
f9 - quickload
f4 - flashbomb
v - compass
alt - lean forward.

All others at default, I think.

I use the user.bnd file from Thief 2, since Thief Gold doesn't have a default Walk Forward button, only run. The other speeds are gained by using modifiers and a dedicated creep key, which i also dislike. So you can copy paste that to your Thief Gold directory to gain the same movement as in Thief 2.

Run Forward = Empty
Walk Forawrd = W
Backward = S
Slide Left = A
Slide Right = D
Lean Left = Q
Lean Right = E
Toggle Crouch = C
Jump = Space
Attack = Mouse 1
Use Item = F
Block = Mouse 2
Speed Toggle = CTRL
Drop Item = X
Next Item = Right
Prev Item = Left
Clear Item = T
Next Weapon = Up
Prev Weapon = Down
Clear Weapon = R
Compass = Tilde
Lean Forawrd = ALT

Lockpicks are F1 and F2, Weapons are number keys, Health is Enter, Flash is Tab, Breath Potion is Backspace and the other items are the numpad keys. QuickSave/QuickLoad F6,F9
M is for Map, O is for Objectives + and - are for gamma settings. Standard stuff.

I also don't have a mouse wheel, since it is broken. So i use the arrow keys for items and weapons switching.

Kind of, I guess. When I was a young kid I started writing with either the left or right hand until my grandmother insisted that I wrote using only the right one ~~ ... not sure if that's really relevant though.
When playing I generally use the mouse with right hand and the keyboard with left.

Ah, fair enough. I'm sort of ambidextrous too. But you use keys on the right of the keyboard?

[constancejill]

Yes, mostly.
Still use the alphanumeric part for weapon select, the "drop item" key and such.
