Keyboard bindings STILL not fixed?
I've searched and found a few threads about the same error. WASD is not my choice for key bindings. Arrows are because I use the right side of the keyboard.
It wont use the arrow keys when I need to fiddle with the radio or use the map. Im only five hours into the game.
Any solutions or fixes aside from restoring the default bindings? This is a huge disappointment for such an amazing series.

Did you report it to tech support?

Can you move your keys elsewhere? As a lefty I use P, L, ; and ', and roughly mirror standard key bindings around WASD (I.e. O is interact for me rather than E). I can let you know all my bindings if interested.

I did report it. Their answer was to remap the keys to WASD which i cant do because of a disability. I cant ask my wife, “Honey come over here and change the keys so that I can continue my game.”

I have tried to move the keys but then it says N/D.

Did you clarify that to the new support with Koch Media? They'll make sure that 4A gets the message.

Exodus had some xbox marketing and I believe it was that team that pushed them to include some of the extra accessibility settings that weren't available on prior Metro titles (albeit more likely to work better with traditional and adaptive controllers than KB/M).

As a third party workaround, software like Razer Synapse or even auto hotkey can automatically apply new keyboard layouts based on a running executable.

Solution to use arrow keys and WSAD keys

I use the arrows to move around.

But if you want to sleep, you need the WASD keys, which don't work.

If you want to sleep till daylight you need the D key.

Well, while you are playing the game go into options and change the right arrow into D.

Then change the D key back into right arrow.

When you go back to the game, you can use D to sleep til daylight.

When you step out of the bed, you can walk around with the arrow keys.

If needed you can do this for all the WSAD keys.

This way, you can use the arrow keys to move around and use the WSAD keys to interact.

If you restart the game (let's say the next day) then you need to do the same thing over, but as long as you are playing it will work.
