Change keyboard controls

Howto change the default keyboard settings

Introduction

Hello here I'll show you how to change the settings for the keyboard, take note that all changes do not affect the UI ingame. So if you change the SpaceBar default to something else, the game will not show the new button in menus or popups.

Howto

Navigate to

...\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\KillerIsDead\KidGame\Config

and open
DefaultInput.ini
starting on Line 83 to Line 130 you can see all the default keys.
Example:

.Bindings=(Name="Q", Command="OnButtonY | OnRelease ReleaseButtonY");

since button Q stands default for Guard Crush you can simply switch the set key to "LeftAlt" for example:

.Bindings=(Name="LeftAlt", Command="OnButtonY | OnRelease ReleaseButtonY");

don't forget that if you set a key that is already mapped for another action you should change this key aswell. Best thing is you track your changes down in a textfile and do not forget to set up a backup file in case something goes wrong.

Standard keybinds

These are the standard keybindings:
Adrenaline Burst = F
Change subweapon = R
Interaction = E
GuardCrush = Q
Pause = Escape
Movement = WASD
Healing = LeftShift
Red map = C
Blue map = V
Dodge = SpaceBar

Thanks for the guide!

I'm having difficulty with this last part:

.Bindings=(Name="Left",Command="OnButtonDPadLeft | OnRelease ReleaseButtonDPadLeft")
.Bindings=(Name="Right",Command="OnButtonDPadRight | OnRelease ReleaseButtonDPadRight")
.Bindings=(Name="Up",Command="OnButtonDPadUp | OnRelease ReleaseButtonDPadUp")
.Bindings=(Name="Down",Command="OnButtonDPadDown | OnRelease ReleaseButtonDPadDown")

It controls the pause menu, but rebinding it doesn't seem to work.

I'm using ESDF instead of WASD, but if I change those Left Right Up Down to ESDF it disables ESDF movement ingame.

W and A seem to be overridden elsewhere as well. I tried changing "Up" to "W" and it disabled the up key in the menu but W was still bound to forward movement. A seems to be stuck on "Move Left" as well.

I didn't change my controls, but thumbs up for the help.
