Need auto sprint options on keyboard users.

[RogueKim]

Why is the auto sprint option only enabled on controllers?
I'm a keyboard user, but I desperately want this feature.
It's very cumbersome to press Sprint every time you want to move.
Please. Add auto sprint options for keyboard also.
Thanks.

You can switch the run behavior to toggle in the settings. It's not quiet auto sprint but far better than constantly holding the run key.

Ofcourse I know the feature,, but as you might expect, this isn't enough.

Did you check the mouse and keyboard settings? I'm on Dualsense but I swear I saw it on both settings pages.

Yes I have checked all options. On keyboard options, there is only toggle, not auto.

This was bothering me too, so go to "settings", "accessibility", see below and put "yes" in "enable/disable sprint"... problem solved :)

This is only for gamepad controllers. Not mouse and keyboard

Because auto sprint relies on an analog input converted to 16 bits while a keyboard is a 1 bit interface. It only goes into autosprint when the analog input goes about above 80%, below that is normal run and below that is a walk speed. You just can't do that with a 1 bit digital interface because it's either 100% or 0%

last i checked 100% is more than 80% so yes it could auto sprint :P but like the ability to toggle focus ping/activate thats also a gamepad feature only that mouse/kb users cant change

[sonycman]

Me too getting tired of toggling shift constantly to switch Aloy to run!
Please add an option for keyboard to auto run also!

[chudy]

is it possible to create a mod that makes sprint the default and regular run on toggle or on hold? if devs won't do that, then maybe we could rely on modders if it possible

i know what you need,
i have made a autohotkey script using chatgpt (im not a programmer), where you now increase your survivalibilty and hunting skills.
1. just download https://www.autohotkey.com/autohotkey and
2. copy and paste the script below ------------------ in a textfile and rename the file to .ahk
3. run it with autohotkey.
note: u have to hold C to crouch, hold V for scan, hold RMB for aiming, otherwise, simply pressing any wasd will cancel the motion,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$w::
; Check if neither 'c' key nor right mouse button nor 'v' key is held down

Yeah I'd highly like this feature enabled for mouse and keyboard users. Especially since toggle now has a max of 3 toggles.

[Gator Glitch]

Set the Sprint Toggle keyboard mapping to whatever you have for moving forward.

Mouse & Keyboard > Toggle sprint = On
Mouse & Keyboard > Mouse and Keyboard Remapping > Move forward = "W"
Mouse & Keyboard > Mouse and Keyboard Remapping > Sprint Toggle = "W"

A "!" will appear next to "Move forward" and "Sprint Toggle" because both are set to "W", just ignore it.
Now whenever you move forward, you will also begin sprinting.
Turn Toggle sprint on as well, so you continue to run when changing directions with a, s, or d and letting go of w.

No macros, no mods required.
