I can't bind CTRL to crouch?

[Stryker]

What is the reason for this? The game has first person controls, shift and control are very widely used keys for this type of control.

This makes me want to refund this game.

if this was an FPS for a foot soldier I might understand your concern but it isn't ... space ships don't crouch.

Yet I walk around in first person view in the game and can't bind controls to a very commonly used key. This is a problem a modern game shouldn't have.

I don't understand why you can customize your controls for most things, but not that.

I have yet to crouch even once in almost 1000 hours of play

The tutorial asked me to and it was an instant turn off.

I never did that bit. Don't let it wreck your chance to enjoy a really great game

It would be cool if this game had a little first person shooting. 😆 right now I don't see any reason to crouch even though it's there

The Ctrl Key is in use by the system, therefore not accessible to the wills of the "public"

Hi, super necro here, so, sorry about that. I too want to rebind my shift/control keys.

I was hoping somebody would have a fix for it.

I understand you, and I am a man that likes ctrl for crouch... BUT in this game you will never need to use crouch in the same way a more active FPS would need you to. You don't need to dodge to avoid incoming fire or move stealthily so as not to be heard or to get under something except maybe under your ship wing. Put it on shift or some other near key. I actually put it on my mouse thumb button, works well, when I use it, which is almost never.

Again, you will BARELY EVER use it. Literally. Nothing worth refunding the game over.

They could remove the ability to crouch entirely and the game wouldn't change at all. You'll be fine.

Left and right CTRL are bound as Input Modifiers by default. Same with left and right SHIFT. You need to unbind those keys in the Input Modifiers menu first and then you can bind CTRL to crouch without issue. Of course if there were any controls you had that used CTRL+<key>, they won't work anymore and you'd need to set up a different modifier key.

I predict at least 5 more people will respond to this 5+ year old necro without realizing it is a necro, or reading this post, before it gets locked.

Ah, dang it! Not again!

Who the hell brought it up? Oh yea, a guy looking for help. It's ok then.

I refunded because it was impossible to dodge the fire from the cinder goblin without being able to duck. Even if you have the sword of hellyeahness +1.

I have 700hrs in the game and forgot I could even crouch.
