How the heck do I rebind keys?
I'm using a keyboard without arrow keys. I'd like to still be able to play the game.

As far as I'm aware, there's no way to rebind keys in the game. You'd have to ask toby about that (post in the "Bugs and Stuff" thread)

You could also get a tool like AutoHotKey to rebind whatever keys you want to arrow keys.

I'm right-handed, but it's much easier for me to WASD with the left hand. This is probably because of all the years of left-handed WASD. This game has action elements, so it's very helpful to be able to use my left hand on the arrow keys.

So my solution is to cross my arms when I play games with this control scheme. I have this ugly yellow bruise on my right forearm now, though. It would be sort of nice to have another option without an external program.

But, really, if additions like that are going to be made to the game, then a colorblind mode for those folks is probably higher priority.

"I'm using a keyboard without arrow keys" Miss that part? Just read the title?

I'm the same way, but my solution was to use a controller. Technically, it's a PS4 controller, so I'm still using a 3rd party program so it actually works, but still. On that note, god does it feels so much better to move around with an analog stick. 360 degrees movement vs 8 directions, and using the d-pad on certain patterns that only need me to move up, down, left or right.

EDIT: I also didn't think of this solution until already completing the true pacifist run (which means completing a normal pacifist run first) and then getting to Undyne the Undying in a Genocide run. I died a lot.

I haven't really played the game a whole lot (i really can't). Is a more precise control scheme required for the game?

I was looking forward to this game. I'm going to refund it, but I'll keep it on my wish list. When proper rebinding comes out I'll be sure to pick this up again.

Mine's a USB NES Controller.

No, I'm serious. I have a controller and a Custom USB extension cord. It...actually fits rather nicely.

I'd post in the Bug thread, or contact Toby directly. Maybe he can throw that in after a patch!

You can rebind the arrow keys to WASD or something using a registry tool, or, better....just get a new keyboard. I'm not entirely sure what happened to make your arrow keys disappear (unless the keyboard came with that, which is even more mysterious...).

60% don't have arrow keys except for in a secondary layer. Having to hold a button consistently to access the arrow keys to play would get very annoying.

He could even have a 60% or a smaller custom built that just doesn't have support for arrow keys. I mean you really should never need arrow keys. Clicking can take care of the changing where you are typing and every PC game should have rebindable KB/M controls so it should never be necessary.

I have a Ducky Mini. I did end up buying a new keyboard (not having dedicated arrow keys as a gamer is a hard life). But they're still out there, and rebinding keys should be a pretty standard PC game feature.
