Key binds

[PHAELANX]

Thank you for having the ability to rebind keys, as a lefty it is incredibly important to me to be able to do so. Also, many righties also rebind keys to exactly the way they like them.

However, I found two important bugs..

1. You cannot rebind the USE function (default E) - corrected using AHK.
2. The game does not recognize the "right arrow" but will recognize the other three directional arrow keys.

Both of these are known issues. The first one should be fixed in our first patch. The second one is still under investigation, I believe. Thank you for the reports!

Perfect - Thanks!

Wow, glad I got a response from the dev team :)

To be perfectly honest, all the possible keys that a player could possibly need should be rebindable on a pc game.

Thank you!!

Glad to hear that we covered most of the options!

Open question to anyone: Besides Activate, is there any other keybind that we need in the game?

@iamisom for keybinds add to the list. DROP BUILD MANA :) Hate having like 9 mana left over and someone else has 21 mana, and neither of us can build anything. One of us should be able to share the mana we have left over to get one more tower up. :)

The M key drops Defense Mana, and the N key drops Ability Mana!

Ah very cool, please make those keys rebindable in the future, or at least list them somewhere so folks know :)

Having redone my keybinds before starting the game i rebound E and after resetting the controls i can't activate the War Recruiter. Is there a fix for this currently?

Every single thing that is activated by the player, using a key or mouse button, should be rebindable.

Basically, everything that uses a key, we should be able to change what key we want to use for that function. You have most of them, and in a pre-alpha game, still are ahead of what many games have when they make it to release. You should be commended, but really, there is no reason not to allow player to rebind literally every single thing, and to use any key or key combination (eg. mouse buttons 3, 4, 5, or SHIFT, CTRL, ALT, + any other key, or any combination of CTRL ALT and SHIFT as modifiers with another key. For many games, I like to have SHIFT + MB3 for one thing, CTRL + MB3 for another, and so on, including SHIFT + CTRL + MB3, and so on.)

Many games do not let the player rebind every function, or don't let use to all our buttons or modifiers keys for binding. It is very frustrating, for example, to see that SHIFT ( or any key) is locked to a certain function and cannot be changed, or that you can't use the modifier keys as modifiers.

I'm considering buying this game but i need to know if i can bind keys to the Home,Insert,PgUp,PgDn,End,Delete keys and the arrow keys. As a left handed gamer those keys are important for me to play with.

What we need is an option to hide the shortcuts on the hotbar. What I mean is - there is a 1, 2, 3 and so on on the buttons which is fine. But since I use a naga and my buttons are mapped differently I have a text "Num Pad 7, Num Pad 8" and so on all over the hotbar which overlays the CD and makes it hard to read.

Here a Screenshot where you can see what I mean.

This is a very good idea. As a left-handed person, I also use the number pad keys, though I use the keys themselves, and I have the same problem.

I just tested this for you. That group of keys can be bound freely to any option in the menu. As previously stated in this thread, for some reason the Right Arrow key can't be bound to anything, but that is most certainly a bug.

on french keyboard, anytime i want to use the ù/% key it opens chat command so i have to write percent instead of % everytime, kinda annoying would love a change here
