Can you rebind keys?

[H2]

I like to play with the number pad but its really annoying to constantly have to reach over all the time to kick doors or pick up stuff. Is there a way to rebind kick to * or pickup to +.

Go to the \%USERNAME\Adom\adom_steam\ directory and open the file adom.kbd in a text editor (perhaps make a backup copy first). You can rebind the keys for any action, though there are a few idiosyncrasies. Binding commands to +/- might break their functionality in the targeting system depending on which action you choose.

But in general the key rebind system is very comfortable. If you run into problems, just ask here. :)

On a side note, you can also change the movement keys to something on the left side of the keyboard. I use wersfyxc for movement - having my left hand on the asdf keys gives me more keys in reach for other commands (compared to the number pad), and is a more natural position for the left hand anyway. However, this requires some repositioning of the commands that usually occupy these keys.

I can't find that directory. Nothing under any users or in the offical install directory \Steam\steamapps\common\ADOM

Games rarely (and actually shouldn't ever) story user data in their install directory. For reasons of security, privacy, and ease of management, program data and user data should always be separated, and most games (including ADOM) adhere to that.

Try this one:

C:\My Documents\Adom\adom_steam\

(The path may differ according to the specifics of your system though. If you still don't find it, try searchim for adom.kbd with your Windows search function. If you're not doing such things often, make sure that your Windows does not hide important folders or extensions. The file is definitely on your system, and somewhere in your userdata, but unfortunately different Windows versions and settings can make such files harder to find than need be.)

This does not work for commands asking for a position on the map. They have hardcoded defaults to number pad and arrow keys. Rebinding directional keys will not help you.

See this thread posted by me a few years ago: https://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=5116

Sorry about the ancient bump, but since there's no more recent threads about this, and this thread has been referenced several times in regards to ADOM keybindings in the roguelikes Discord, I figured I'd mention this anyway.
