Can you remap all keys including the lighter? Or can I not assign a key for the lighter?

I was not able to change the lighter mapping in the 2 previous games.

OP, I use F key for Lighter and I'm not positive because I bound them about 6 months ago but I'm pretty sure F isn't the 'default'.

Yes you can remap the lighter..........................

Well, I have read a lot about rebinding keys in this game. While it can be done in some cases, it breaks the game. Parts of the game will cause rebound keys to crash the game so bad, the game must be reinstalled. All 3 Metro games have hard coded mapping that do not allow some keys to be rebound. I would like to thank all of you for your inaccurate, convoluted, and otherwise useless information.

Wrong. I've rebound most of my keys (yes I checked against that article), and I've had no trouble during multiple playthroughs. Keep your ungrateful thanks.
In fact, I suggest you do some proper reading because the game runs fine.

All this link shows is the current binds. How does that help?

ha.. lmao. I can't believe you used that w.a.n.k.e.r. as a video example. Give me a break, geez.. you could at least try to be interesting.
Because you can find negative articles or videos doesn't make them the rule. 9/10 it just means there's another idiot out there making videos and flapping their gums.
That ShackNews article shows the default keybinds and it helps to illustrate my point. Look here:

My changed binds. I count 15. I have a lot of playtime done on two different rigs and have on occasion changed some binds to suit playstyles and I've never had a problem.
If you can't bind your lighter to the key you want bind it to another. I 'think' some options only bind to some keys. If necessary use a key you're already using for something else and re-assign that one.
It's not that hard and it's only a game. Be flexible.

I don't need your analysis of my searching ability nor your condescending attitude. I base my concern on owning the 2 other Metro games and even if you rebind the lighter to another key, it works on that key but doesn't clear the old mapping. you can't stop it from working on the default bind.That's because some of the mapping is hard programmed. I think the guy in the video knows much more than you do.

You're wrong but no matter. Good luck.

Confirmed, keys can be rebound and the LIGHTER default key.

Can the controller be remapped without the lighter?
I use a controller in my left hand and a mouse in my right hand. I go into Steam and have the controller ignored. Then I use a mapping tool to map the controller like it's a keyboard. Basically all games I have allow me to turn off the Steam controller mapping except for the first 2 Metro games. It's impossible. Is Exodus different? For some reason the developer hard coded some of the mapping on the first 2 games and it cannot be wiped.

Thanks for pointing me to my thread from 9 months ago. I was hoping something new but it still looks like the game hard codes some control functions.
