Key Remapping

[julienmerienne]

Hi,
Amazing game !! Just I can't fight at all with all guns / rifles. On AZERTY keyboard, Q is for left.
So while I fire with my gun / rifles and try at the same time to go left, it trigger a melee attack it seems we can't re-assign in the options.
Where can it be defined that fire weapon melee attack could be re-assigned to another key such as A ?

Thanks for your help.
Julien

currently unless edit the actual files (as shown on pages 8-9 I believe) which CDPR have said (and all they said on matter) IS NOT ADVISED but until then, it's waiting and hoping for a quick patch

The F key is so important, I'm surprised there is no option to have a secondary key mapped? I would love to be able to use my mouse4 instead of F. Especially while hacking, you need to hold TAB, select the hack, then press F. Strange in this day and age where this was not even thought of to be re-mapped.

As a Dvorak user, this game is totally unplayable without changing my layout to Qwerty. Even if I force-bind the keys I want in the .json file, they still perform their original menu action as well as what they're bound to. This really is totally unacceptable. Every key should be able to be bound to any action. There's no room for debate here, this is simply the status quo for PC games.

Also, while we're at it, would it really be that hard to detect the keyboard layout in use and auto-remap the keys? Games have been successfully accommodating my Dvorak layout this way since at least 2014 (BF4 was the first game I remember doing this), would it really be that hard to let an intern spend a day writing a key bind converter?

I am also of clan Dvorak, and I find this infuriatingly frustrating, This is outer worlds all over agene. Also I have noticed some 1990 games notice my Dvorak broad. There more like odd surprises, but they do exist.
It this day and age, I should not need to make a custom roccat profile for my key bored, and force the remap. Yay, this wont ever get confusing.

check the inputUserMappings.xml inside the Cyberpunk 2077/r6/config directory, i literally changed all IK_F and IK_R to my 2 preferred buttons, no issues so far (setting the file to read only may be required tho).

This one helped me with my arrows issue, so thanks for that.

But the fact we HAVE TO do such thing, because someone only sees WSAD and Controller players it's weird in such game. And sad.

Thing is we dont know is it going to be fixed and when!
They're busy making youtube videos instead communicating here on big issues like this.

I'm left handed and use IJKL for movement and the keys around it for the rest. I usually just try to mirror the default WASD setup as best I can. This has worked in pretty much every other PC game I've played.

I'll play with controller for now, but I'm pretty disappointed with CDPR that such a basic thing as full keyboard remapping was considered not important enough a priority to be included for launch.

Please, PLEASE, add the ability to fully remap keys.

 

[SpayD]

CDPR implement a way to stream the game without nudity or copyrighted music but don't let you rebind keys or set crouch or ADS to toggle. GG love the priorities there.

oh totally. I have been spamming their twitter trying to get any info but no one replies. Comments about folk who can't remember passwords or are struggling to download get instant replies but not one tweet I have seen from anyone in CDPR has recognized it. I just am going down a logic path of, well if left handed players can't play, that's statistically 5-10%ish I reckon on people fit in that group so then add those using other keyboards and that's a ton of people you miss out, if not fixed, they do expose themselves to discrimination cases, especially when think about how many disabled people were commenting on earlier pages, it's a overlap, which is bad to have two major accessibility issues in a game when gaming industries are being more focus on wider player bases and focus on inclusion. Plus the fact the Witcher has ability to change key binds means they have code that is already semi-usable if not totally transferable to simply add this function in. The fact we have a comment even if a iffy one from CDPR saying, we don't advise you change them in files makes me believe they will be fixing otherwise why would they care?

 

[jdrs2k]

Super unconventional, but I move forward with right mouse button (for years and years now).

I can map rightmouse to move forward just fine, but this key is shared with some kinda zoom toggle that I can't re-map. So when I click it, I zoom in briefly and then move fwd very slowly.

Help?

Maybe we should all unite as fellow left handed players and spam their twitter 'till they pay attention?

Not being able to rebind f key is almost the final nail in the coffin for me. Unoptimised for pc all this hype hype hype and it's a console port with forced extremely blurry AA that even amd sharpness AND reshade lumasharpen can't fix without other issues appearing... I've come into this game with lowered expectations and am still dissapointed. Aiming with controller is insanely inaccurate especially when aiming for moving targets (definately more frustrating than enjoyable), mouse is soooo much better, BUT can't rebind essential keys?? Literally have the refund page open right now debating on whether to refund or not... and I thought cdpr was meant to respect/listen to thier customers. Apparently thats only true now if you own a console? So I should go buy one from one of these scalpers who have them all in thier warehouses SIGH (not going to happen). I know it's just a game guys, but damn my enjoyment has been smashed, so depressing lol.

• MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR XML FILE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.

[/QUOTE]

i wonder why I have steam doing a integrity check after a deletion of soggy files, filled with my hopes and dreams.
I tried to play it on standard English, But I am having to many errors, and its messing up my game.
I would think by this point that I would be used to backing things up.

Though I do have to give it to cd, least with them I can fix it, Outer worlds had few binds that I could not use, witch is my W, But for me "W" IS "'" and you cant bind that in that game, It was a menu short cut.
But this is more complex then outer, I cant keep the have a dozen bonus action keys in order, when I am trying to play the game, with outer wilds, I just bound all the fun stuff to my mouse. Left standard fps shooter one thousand on the bored, so it was all muscle memory.
This just wants me to use the entire left side of my keyboarded, plus a few other locations on my bored.

I left the link (here on the forum) and a complaint in the post (twitter) Technical Support. Come in and reinforce everyone's complaint and indignation.

I'll be keeping at it until it's patched but my account is new so probably won't do much so any help to unit and actually force them to listen would be great!

 

[Bill213Thomas]

Just submitted a ticket for a refund. I'm not jumping through these hoops config file editing, hoping it works and doesn't get broken in multiple updates nonsense for another AAA PC title.

LEFT.
HANDED.
PEOPLE.
EXIST.

No excuses matter.

I'm so done with this arrogant "everyone is right handed and everyone plays games just like I do" dev nonsense. I play FREE TO PLAY games that offer control schemes for multiple different types of vehicles in the same game and allow for complete perfectly functional keybinding AND controller layout editing. Multiple similar keys used in multiple ways fron one mode of movement to another, no keys arbitrarily locked out.

And all of this in a game your devs arbitrarily dictated HAS to be in 1st person only, except when it's not... ridiculous.

 

[Eraqus]

Same problem here, I usually play OKLÑ for FPS (Overwatch, for example). It's ridiculous that I can't change it as a left-handed.

 

[Jayshua_Lyn]

This is DUMB!

So many people use different keybinds! How do you design and develop a game and leave keybinding so SLOPPY!

PLEASE FIX!

 

[Garrison72]

Anyone been successful in remapping through the 'input settings' file? I managed to remap some 'F' interactions to 'E'. But not everything.

 

[DrChakaloo]

So I play left handed(mouse in left hand) and I map movement keys to P(forward), ;(backwards, L(left), and '(right). It's basically an exact mirror of right handed key mappings, just on the left side of the keyboard. Unfortunately I'm unable to map the P key to move forward as it's hard bound to something else.

This is incredibly frustrating but at least I have a controller I can play with in the meantime while I wait for them to bring left handed support to the table. All they'd have to do is give an option to mirror the keyboard mappings to the right side of the keyboard and I'd be fine.

PLEASE incorporate that feature.
