Key binds/KB key scheme

[Zenatsu]

Is it possible to change key binds? and what is the KB scheme?

Usually those games have some horrible KB schemes..just wanna find out.

Hey Zenatsu,
There's not currently a remapping feature in the game. The scheme is:

Character movement: WASD or arrows keys
Pick up: Space
Interact: Control
Change Chef: Shift

I really want to play this single player occasionally, but I cannot get it to work.
Either I cannot even enter the game single player with controller (controller 2 which i don't even have keeps coming up), or with the keyboard one, I cannot use my arrow key to change character, just gets stuck and can't play.
Any help would be appreciated

Bump. Devs. PLEASE. This is the easiest thing to do. I'm a regular gamer and my hands hurt like hell after an hour from reaching for these awful keybindings x.x

My friend and I are playing the game on a Microsoft Surface keyboard which has no RCtrl for player 2. Besides, if there is a remapping feature, I will use it to switch my hands. I prefer moving by my left hand and cooking by my right hand.

I can only join the choir here. Currently the game is completely unplayable as my MacBook does not have a right control,

There is absolutely no excuse not to have rebindable keys. It is absolutely trivial to implement. The only thing that takes a modicum amount of time if the UI in the options menu to actually set it up. If this is not the case then I dare not think about the spaghetti code that must have been used to program the rest of the game.

I am not sorry for being blunt here. Key rebindings are a mandatory feature for any game. You can never assume that your player base all use a certain keyboard. We have different layouts, some have disabilities, some of us use Dvorak rather than QWERTY, some of us have ergonomic keyboards with strange physical layouts. The list goes on.

Get your act together!

why can't we bind keys, the game is unplayable. Who the #@#$@#$ used control as an interaction key?

Really enjoying the game but my pinky is killing me from holding down ctrl. Would be amazing if I could change the keybinds :)

Same.
I own a Microsoft surface laptop which does not have a right ctrl button, making it impossible to play with two people.
They seriously have to update the keybinding.

Dangit so this was entirely abandoned? This sucks. This game is unplayable with the current scheme. I'll have to return my copy which is a shame since it looks super fun.

Refunding the game because the unchangeable control scheme is painful.
It's really something fun that I want to play but I physically cannot play for more than a few minutes, it's especially bad for a game that requires frantic button pressing for a long period of time.

How to boost in keyboard?

Key rebinding support would be nice !

To everyone who wants to rebind keys: Try downloading Autohotkey (autohotkey.com). You could write a simple remapping script like the following, which remaps the numpad to act like WASD and Z, X, and C to chop, pick up, and dash. (And doesn't change the normal keyboard layout when you're not in Overcooked)

#IfWinActive, Overcooked
Numpad8::W
Numpad4::A
Numpad5::S
Numpad6::D
Z::LCtrl
X::LShift
C::LAlt
#IfWinActive

Obviously, it would be better if the developers would add the feature into the game natively, but Autohotkey works great for all those games that can't be bothered to add a control remapping feature.

They really didnt ever include this somewhat basic feature? This is the point for me not to buy the game. How am I going to play 2 players on one keyboard otherwise? Fail :(

It's been two years since this discussion was initiated, but I'm hoping it can still be done. :(

I just want to remap away from the default setup. Even to just have it on my mouse keybinds without having it affect things outside of Overcooked. I love this game, but my hand cramps from being stuck in that little corner with WASD/Ctrl/Shift/Alt.

Nothing on this yet?
