Separate key binding for "Activate", "Ride", "Throw Monkey/Dimorphodon" etc.

[Icebreccer]

I'm so sick of trying to open/close my gates when I'm riding my dinos. It's constant "in and out" of the dino and chaotic gate openings.

Why can't we bind DIFFERENT keys for the actions? For example "Ride" would comfortably be used from the "R" key.

Seperate keys is the only way! Changing the key for mount/dismount would solve not just the gate issue but also accidently brushing the e key whilst flying and falling to your death, and accidently riding your dino when trying to pick up their poops

Small issue, I know - but it's driving me batty.

I love my monkey, Miss Monkeypenny. I really would like to take her everywhere I go. However, I accidentally fling her all over the place. Trying to get on my T-Rex, I suddenly throw her down a hill. Attempting to board my houseboat, I accidentally toss her into the sea. It's at it's most frustrating when I'm climbing around, building things. I accidentally throw her all over the place like discarded candy-wrappers.

Worse, I sometimes don't notice that I throw her away because she's so small.

Isn't there some way that the monkey-toss could be bound to a different key than the regular 'interact' key? I'm worried I'll throw my monkey off a montain and never find her again.

Same as above can be applied to Dimorphodon.

This option would be a major quality of life improvement for a lot of people.

This deserves a bump, because it'd be a great quality of life change. I'm all for allowing people to keep it all consolidated to one button if you like that sort of thing / consolitis, but I don't like the risks and time delay.

Dismounting when you don't want to, mounting when you're just trying to pick up poop, picking up Stones right when you're trying to launch your Dimorphodon to attack, etc.

Tacking onto what I'd love to see for Dimorphodons...

If you're on foot trying to launch a Dimo, you'll probably still pick up Stones or Fiber. But if you're mounted, you can at least hit X to launch the Dimo.

But then you run into the problem that (if on follow and the Dimo returns after combat) you can't re-shoulder it without dismounting, looking around to locate the wildly circling Dimo, then jumping and hitting E to get it to re-perch on your shoulder, and then re-mounting your dino.

Annoying lengthy hassle that could be made much cooler by simply allowing X to recall the "most recently launched" Dimo to your shoulder. Or some other keybind.
It's a great example of the neat things that could be done in this game if people have separate keybinds, so stupidity doesn't happen.

Also it appears that the flyer airbrake is always "X". Why not let people change it?

I fling my dimo all over the place when collecting eggs. I would greatly appreciate an option to separate these key commands. I'm afraid to take my dimo anywhere for fear I'll fling it to its death, or not realize it's not on my shoulder anymore. Perhaps also adding a way to know when dimo/monkey has been taken off your shoulder, so if you accidentally toss them, you know. Why aren't they on our arm, like a Falcon instead of our shoulder for the dimo?

Same problem here. Although I have loads of them I'm afraid of taking them anywhere because I usually just forget they're there (yes, I get preoccupied with different stuff a lot :)). I'd love a visual cue in first-person view, even just a tail slapping me in the face from time to time, just to remind me they're there. Or like mystique above here mentioned move the Dimo over to the arm instead of the shoulder and solve that problem alltogether whilst making it all the more immersive.

Still +1 for different keybinds !

+9000 why not "G" to grab and throw the monkey/dimo? also I´m not sure if its a bug but after something attacks me with a moneky on my shoulder he remains screaming and all upset, even after I killed the attacker.

[Icebreccer]

Bump.

[Huuva]

+1

[mr_knowie]

A million times yes. I tamed a Dimo, he sailed the seas on my shoulder, it was beautiful! Until I wanted to pick some berries and accidentally sick'ed him on a Brontosaurus. In the memory of Superfly, I ask that this key be separated from the "do everything" key.

It'd also be great if that same button would call them back when they aren't on your shoulder.

[Rezonus]

C should be the key for dino actions like throw monkey/dimorphodon, but E to activate/ride is fine

[Pastor Duke]

BUMP BUMP BUMP +100

[Icebreccer]

Rumbo bumpo.

[Icebreccer]

Pretty please?

[Tech Enthusiast]

For the love of god,... let us change the "ride" key.
It is ANNOYING to keep jumping on my Bronto, just because i am so trained to use the E key to USE something. I want his inventory lol. And i know about the F key, i just can't get my head around that.

This would also help with high altitude Operator Harness - Separation Hardware Implementation Testing

I see what you did there. Nice one.

Agree entirely with the original suggestion.

I hate trying to close gates while riding my dinos, it's such a pain in the ass. I hate the little dance you have to do to pick up an egg or feces without unintentionally getting on a dino saddle or opening their inventory. I really want to be able to set separate keybinds for "ride dino" and "interact with everything else."
