Key binding
Hi, is there any file I can modify to edit key binding?
Cancel key is Q by default. I want to play with ZSQD to move, so I have to remap Cancel to A key. But If I remap it, it acts as if I hit Q button, so it cancels changes and exit key binding menu.
I can change every keys except Cancel one.

thanks for help

Thanks for the feedback. We will look into what can be done.

May be overkill in OP situation, but look/search Autohotkey which is free and very powerful key re-mapping app, but you need to learn a little scripting to make it work. Templates are available. Once you learn AHK it is a fabulous tool for all games...

Couldn't play Dark souls without it personally, since it was originally a poorly ported console. So in this respect, console ports often need custom keybinding that is not available in PC game. Try Autohotkey!

Nice to see Developer appearance here! S!

When do you think you might have an idea as to when you are going to fix this? This game is over a year old, I find it hard to believe that this hasn't been brought up prior to this.

I don't know a lot of games that don't have a keybinding option in the settings. Kind of annoyed now, and I haven't played it yet.

We just pushed an update that should address this. The game didn't ship with keybinding so it is a very recent addition so there might be a few small issues. If you notice anything else let us know.

Thats great news. I played a total of 10 mins. For example I use arrows to move instead of wasd. I manage to bind my ahead and forward but side to side go opposite ways and I can't bind one key at a time. I had to hit up and down arrows at once. Hopefully that's something you can look into. Looks like a good game, but most people like the comfort of being able to reconfigure easily.

I just purchased Outer Wilds and am very annoyed that I can't change the key bindings from AWSD to the arrow keys. I tried Autohotkey and it doesn't seem to have any effect. Thinking about a refund. Most games you can easily change the default movement keys.

I agree, just bought the game and don't understand it.
In Move Axis assignement, when we want to change keys, it's just stucked and we haven't possibility to assign the second touch, all is stucked...
