Key bindings?

[Fari]

I feel kinda bad making a discussion just for this. But trying to google it a few ways, and looking at multiple youtube videos, I can't seem to find a glimpse of the options or any answer otherwise.

Are there keybind options within the game? Like changing what buttons on the keyboard you use for movement.

Beyond that, if so, how extensive is it, rebinding the keys for abilities or such? If it's at least extensive enough to change movement keys I'll gladly be buying Hollow Knight.

But yeah, easy for someone with the game to know but surprisingly hard to figure out without having it. So, a little help? Thanks.

You can rebind any action to whatever keyboard key you want, except mouse. I think they might add it later, but for now, keyboard only or gamepad.

Alright, cool thanks. Guess I'll grab it.

Normally you can refund the game within the first 2 hours of game time. So, it can't hurt to just buy the game, and see for yourself.

Normally I don't use the control mapping. But a quick look into the options showed me mapping for gamepad and keyboard. There isn't a secondary mapping for the actions. And for the keyboard, the move directions can be mapped, too.

Just to be clear, this game is heavily optimized for gamepads so I would definitive recommend playing it with a pad.

BTW, if you have in general problems with binds in games I can't recommend AutoHotKey enough. With it you can very easily make your own binds outside of the game you are playing and have them activated automatically as soon as the game's window is in focus. Here is an old example for a few games to get you started:


SetTitleMatchMode, 2

#IfWinActive, Quake Live
Numpad1::F1
Numpad2::f2
Numpad3::F3

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

#IfWinActive, IWBTGG
Numpad1::Left
Numpad3::Right
Numpad2::Down
Numpad5::Up
NumpadEnter::R
3::y
e::c
Space::x
LAlt::x


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

#IfWinActive, Path of Exile
NumpadMult::o
NumpadDiv::i
Numlock::u
End::l
PgDn::k
PgUp::j
NumpadAdd::1
NumpadSub::2

I don't even think we'll need the mouse to play the game xD
