Request feature: Configurable Keybindings

[Norwegiandorf]

Straight to the point - I'm a leftie (left-handed) and use the mouse on my left hand and keyboard controls on my right hand.
Usually this isn't a big deal, as most games have reconfigurable keybindings. But not Prison Architect...

I've been playing this game for a LONG time now and this annoyance has been building in my mind for long enough that I just felt i had to post a comment about it.
Could you, the devs, PLEASE add a simple keybind reconfig to the game?!

Just to clearify, I know about the current control possibilities..
1. You can use wasd to move around, q and e to zoom in/out, and r to rotate.
2. You can also use the middle mouse button to drag the map where you want it, and the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.
3. The third option isn't really a viable option, as all controls aren't in the same area. I am ofc talking about the arrow keys. Fine, you can move around your map, but to zoom in or out or rotate you have to use the other options..

So again.. please.. just let people config their own key preferences.
(I usually use the numpad when playing games.. 8/5 is up and down, 4/6 is left and right.. and in this game i would probably zoom with 7 and 9, and rotate with 0.)

You don't use a mouse with a wheel on it to zoom in and out? I also assume that means you've not noticed that if you click the mouse wheel that will also rotate an object?

The only thing you need the keyboard for is moving, and I only use that because I use dual monitor and it doesn't lock the mouse to the screen so I can't mouse-scroll to the right.

Saying that, I'm all for configurable keys. They should be in all PC games.
But... this is alpha, it won't be a top priority for a while.

They don't read this forum. You need to register on the Introversion forums for Prison Architect and post your suggestion there, after searching to make sure nobody else has requested it. They probably have...

I actually think this is a pretty reasonable request, devs, I use the power of satan to command you to implement this! *meummeummeum*
