How to change key bindings to use the arrow keys?

[Geekfox]

I can't use WASD keys, because I'm left-handed— I use the computer mouse with my left hand. I also tried changing the inputs in VRChat Configuration window, but it seems like VRChat isn't using (or respecting) any key bindings listed in the Inputs tab.

It's standard for applications to have some kind of key binding settings, but seeing VRChat is lacking such function is surprising to me. I'm expected to venture and roam on the first run in VRChat already, but sadly this isn't happening.

So I'm asking if anyone has methods to change VRChat's default keys configuration.

Unsure if this still works.

Try doing whats in the video.

Nope, it doesn't work. VRChat ignores ANY custom key bindings made in the Input tab.

I just used a 3rd-party app (e.g. GlovePIE) to bind keys instead. It's a workable solution.

My key binding config looks like this. They are my preferences as a left-handed user, but you may adjust it for your needs.

Keyboard.W = Keyboard.Up
Keyboard.S = Keyboard.Down
Keyboard.A = Keyboard.Comma
Keyboard.D = Keyboard.Period
Keyboard.Space = Keyboard.Apostrophe
Keyboard.C = Keyboard.Slash
Keyboard.LeftShift = Keyboard.RightShift
Keyboard.Z = Keyboard.RightAlt
Keyboard.V = Mouse.XButton1

How can I do this as well? My W key is really problematic and it hurts my fingers to use it a long while. I must change the bindings.

My method uses GlovePIE, which is a discontinued app. Do check out this wiki to reassign keys. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Remapping
