Can you change the admin menu hotkey?
Looking to change the admin menu hotkey due to a conflict. Can't find the setting anywhere in game. Found the .cfg in appdata, but the only bindings in the file are the ones you can change in game.

Slightly miffed about this honestly. Game has existed long enough for this to have been identified as an issue and fixed, surely.

Not within the game....
Only option is a registry computer remap like this one:

I see. The issue is a conflict (with shadowplay), so remapping the button in my registry would still have this issue.

I'm currently having to turn off shadowplay, open the admin menu, and turn on shadowplay once I'm finished using the admin menu. Quite a pain.

I should not have to change my shadowplay hotkey, a hotkey which does not conflict with anything else. We should be able to change the game key bindings.

Would a dev/admin care to explain why this hasn't been fixed?

Hi, first I must specify I am not a SE Dev but Moderator admin of the Workshop so I don't know why we can't change that key.

That said, the best would be to contact the SE programmers and maybe create a new Portal Feedback (Petition) so all can vote and have a chance they add your suggestion.

Support Portal = https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc
(create "Bug report" or "Request help"(Private) or "Feedback"(Petition) on the Portal)

You may use the Support Email to report if you prefer :
Email = support@keenswh.com

+ I recommend to use the Portal search tool before creating a new Feedback because a lot are participating so your suggestion may already be in.

i like to use ALT key for downward movement. its just way more natural, than wraping your hand upward to maaaaybe hit the the default 'c' key when in the heat of the battle. either that or you use your index finger that sits on WASD to hit that 'c' but yeah, doing that you lose the right thrust movement. having a full control in default setting is a real hand yoga. thats why ALT is the perfect solution. but unfortunatly you have admin tools bound to the alt, so are some other shortcut actions like depositing items or taking out. and netiher cant be changed, all have to be bound with the dogdamn ALT key
