Fix for menus in the bottom left not working when using arrow keys for movement?

[DreamSphinx]

Hey, I love this game, but an annoying problem with it is that when you have your movement set to arrow keys, the WASD menu doesn't correctly (like sleeping till day time, examining the map on the train, etc...). The only fix for it is to go into my options and change my movement keys to WASD just to use the menu, then change them back to the arrow keys so I can continue playing normally.

Anyone know if there's gonna be a fix for this, or if one already exists?

Some keybinding issues are still present, you could have a controller plugged and use the Dpad or just stick to ASWD.

A lot of keybindings issues are still present (which is frustrating because I simply can't really play it until it's fixed) and temporarily rebinding to WASD doesn't always work (right now I'm stuck in a menu and only the D key is being recognized, for example).

Also "sticking with WASD" isn't really an option for non-english keyboards, it's not just left-handed people affected.

Yep I too have this problem

Am also having this problem, very annoying! I remapped my movement keys to the arrows, now I cannot sleep, smoke, drink or even exit when talking to Anna!! Pretty dumb bug to leave in!

search this question a few pages back, someone has posted a simple mod to the .cfg file. I too use arrow keys and this change adds wasd keys and works well.

I was so annoyed at this, I had to do some research. It seems for me those WASD keys were totally missing from the .cfg file, so I needed to add them.

bind up kW
bind left kA
bind right kD
bind down kS

So I know this is a bit late, but this worked perfectly, even in the Enhanced Edition (which had the same problem)! I can finally play this game seamlessly without having to change my controls in the menu all the time lol.

[Mr. Q]

wow... hilarious fix. Works while game is running. what an oversight haha

[Meuhoua]

Of course having the same bug, but as i dont play with WASD, i would set numpad keys to do this (with "bind up kNUMPAD8" and so on) but that dont seems to work... is someone know how to make it work ?
