patch 1.1: how to change keys ?
So now that the patch rolled out wich should include a file to change keys i'm kinda wondering how to do this.
I did find a file "default" wich shows all the keys, but it doesn't seem to work ingame when I changed them with WordPad.

So how can it be done ?

Take a look at the "custom.dokhotkeys" file, two directories deeper in ...Deserts of Kharak\out\cloud

I just edited that file and my new bindings worked. There is all a "custom.dokhotkeys" file in the backup folder, but I don't think that needs to be edited.

Is there a way to unbind keys? so e.g you have to click buttons isntead of using a shortcut, i dont want to have to faff about reshuffling all teh keys to accomadte wsad for camera. Ive tried leavign them blank, but they jsut seem to use the original keys, even though both custom and default fiels are edited the same.

Also to the lazy ass devs who were too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid to allow keybindings like any other game, you should be ashamed or yourselves for your ineptitude.

its not an opinion. this is a common usability standard in software. sure its nice that i can reconfigure the keys as i like to feel elite, but some people have muscular distrophy and actually need to be able to configure an app for their comfort. im seeing cloud-support for settings but no UI? how much more up-your-own-developer-ass to you have to be to not impliment that.

what is the major malfunction at gearbox with this title?? why is everything so abnormal? i support the homeworld franchise and purchase this title and its DLC, and its a nice game! im pretty satisfied except for some pretty grievious oversights like this. ive just never even seen anything this locked-up from the user before. your User Experience designer is literally making us edit text files. im just leaving that here...

The game needs in game key-rebinding from the options menu.

The game needs also game speed adjustment ...urgently
