Is there any way to rebind keys?
So I like to play 3D first person games using the insert block for movement and mouse4 as the use key. I am simply not used to WASD + Q E for actions, and I am not going to screw over my muscle memory from many years of playing such games just because the devs of a particular one think their way of controlling the game is the one that everybody must conform to.
Is there any way for me to play this comfortably (i. e. rebind keys) without using AutoHotkey or some such, or is this just hard-coded?

Thank you. I haven't found any config files either, so that probably means it is impossible. What a crap show.

I'm sorry there isn't a way to rebind keys. But, if you can find a program that will allow you to play this anyway, I promise you it is worth it. It's much closer to a point and click game than anything else - there are very few controls.

I'm curious; I've never met someone who uses the insert block for movement. Do you use your left hand? What keys do you use for jumping, crouching, or leaning?

Yes.

Insert is strafe left, Pg Up is strafe right, Home is walk forward, End is walk backwards. Delete is jump, Pg Down is crouch. In games where Leaning is a thing, I use Backspace and NumLock for that, otherwise these usually go to menus or other functions. Enter is usually reload or ready/sheathe weapons, depending on the game.
I got used to this setup way back when CounterStrike 1.1 or so was still new (yes, I am old). Back then you didn't need so many hotkeys, and I liked the space around my fingers which helped avoid accidental key presses. When games with more controls became a thing, this was already deeply ingrained into my habits, so I started using mice with many buttons to avoid having to switch.

Why should I? The whole point of the custom binding is to make it easier for me, not harder. :)
