Key Remapping

[Tiberiosity]

...You know, I just thought of something: I've heard that Cyberpunk has been in developement for 8 years, and that The Witcher 3 had the same keybinding and control issues on launch. With a 2015 release date, that means that Cyberpunk was already in development when Witcher 3 released, meaning it's entirely possible that would be why on launch it would heve the same issue. What a shame, but I'm somewhat less annoyed at them now. Somewhat.

This is a common misconception. Cyberpunk was announced 8 years ago and some initial concept work might have started back then with a small team of people, but the actual full-time development of the game has started only after Witcher 3 was released. So in total we're looking at around 5 years of full team focusing on the development of just Cyberpunk 2077.

But I agree, Witcher 3 had the same issues with Keyboard binding and overall control issues. They were patched later though, due to community feedback.

Ok, but why making step backwards and not built on what has been already fixed for TW3 (and almost all PC titles tbh), instead making the same mistakes over and over again, and to think CDPR started as PC only studio with TW1/TW2, but now we don't have basic features such key binding... kinda ironic :/

 

[WilliamSternritter]

Exactly. PC gamers practically built up the current state of CDPR by supporting W1&2, yet here we are once again. What even leads developers to hardcoding buttons?

hi!
For me "wasd" is "Home, Del, End, PgDown"

I have spend some time with editing "UserSettings.json" and "inputUserMappings.xml"
I fixed some problems but created others.

(my feelings) Its mess, because someone made binds for gamepad and then try convert to PC keyboard in fast lazy manner

So, please fix
unbindable: "F" "P" "Home" UpArrow" "mousewheel up/down"
"E" "R" (takedown options)

jfkwarpy you ADD the arrow keys through the UserSettings.json

"group_name": "/key_bindings/SettingsLocomotion",
"options": [
{
"name": "forward",
"type": "name",
"value": "IK_Up",
"default_value": "IK_Up"
},
{
"name": "back",
"type": "name",
"value": "IK_Down",
"default_value": "IK_Down"
},
{
"name": "left",
"type": "name",
"value": "IK_Left",
"default_value": "IK_Left"
},
{
"name": "right",
"type": "name",
"value": "IK_Right",
"default_value": "IK_Right"
},

you only need to adjust the inputUserMappings.xml with new keys for dialogue so that you are not moving forwards and backwards when you are talking to people all the time. Also after saving make sure to check Read-Only in the .json file's Properties to make sure the game can't change it back

<mapping name="UI_DialogFocus" type="Button"> (I chose HOME and END to replace the Up and Down Dialogue keys, otherwise I got dizzy)
<button id="IK_Pad_DigitDown" />
<button id="IK_Pad_DigitUp" />
<button id="IK_End" />
<button id="IK_Home" />
and
<mapping name="Dialog_Choice_Up" type="Button" >
<button id="IK_Home" />
<button id="IK_Pad_DigitUp" />
<button id="IK_Q" />
</mapping>

<mapping name="Dialog_Choice_Down" type="Button" >
<button id="IK_End" />
<button id="IK_Pad_DigitDown" />
<button id="IK_E" />

Does that answer your problem?

thanks for the help

I am having a lot of problems with the keybinds. there's a lot of keybinds that are not listed. for exemple the ''F'' key used for most actions, usually i remmap that key to a programmable button on my mouse. the thing is, the action key isnt evenm lsited in the keybinds, and worst, the programmable buttons on my mouse are not even allowed. for exemple when i try to rebind the crouch button to my mouse is says ''binding failed''.

For anyone using a mouse in numbpad mode or otherwise needing to know the ID to change IK_F to with the workaround, I used "IK_NumPad0" for 0 on the numbpad. The capital P is important.

Welcome to PC Gaming!

Use Autohotkey.

 

[Skolioxyfos]

Use Autohotkey.

AHK work until enter game then stops
any solutions?

Autohotkey won't work in game for me either... I hope there is a fix for this.

 

[JTrev04]

I am really hoping the next patch includes the ability to rebind the interact key (which is still locked to F), as well as the inventory key. It is strange that interact and inventory are not even shown in the key bind tab of the settings menu.

I would also love to see map and journal added to the key bind list in the settings menu, so we can bind those. I still have more mouse buttons that need to be put to good use!

I have a keyboard which allows rebinding of keys with profiles in the keyboard software. This works for Cyberpunk 2077.

 

[pere_fouettard]

Please CD project, do something about this issue. I'm left handed and i'd like to remap all keys!
I can't play right now
Thanks!

Like the thousands (perhaps millions) of others, I launched CBP 2077 and started by configuring my settings. Excited to play and looking forward to the experience. Left handed, use the arrow keys for movement. Mouse is in my left hand, dont have a 10-key on my keyboard and wouldn't want to use it if I did. I press the up arrow to rebind E to Up Arrow. "Key bind Failed".

Same with down arrow and a slew of others. Shocked, bewildered and angry I went to Steam. The entire page of posts filled with hatred towards the game, for all kinds of reasons. Crashes, bugs, missed expectations and of course no ability to remap keys the way we want to.

How does this happen? After 9 years and millions of hours of testing and development, how does a AAA studio make the most anticipated game of the decade and release the game with the inability to remap keys?

And no - players shouldn't be asked to download mods or go into scripting files to fix these issues on our own. All those suggestions are respectfully ridiculous. CDPR should be ashamed. This is bush league, rookie mistakes. This is shoddy workmanship.

There is a large percentage of the player base not even playing the game because of this issue and I am one of them. I am considering a refund. Fix this issue and make it so we can reconfigure our keys however we want. Table stakes., minimum standards. CDPR get your proverbial &#!% together.

Which keyboard is that??

BIG BIG BIG thank you! Now I can enjoy the game.

Nexusmods key patch

Reposting the nexusmods patch for any who haven't see it. There are no words for how a fuck up of this magnitude happened on AAA pc game, but thankfully modders have already done what this clown show didn't.

Thank you so much for this. Used the mod and made some additional adjustments in the config by myself. I can finally play now with all my usual bindings!

 

[mipmip76]

There is no excuse for not completing the PC controls. There is no excuse that left-handers and the disabled cannot play the game. There is no excuse that the CDPR has not bothered to say anything about this issue to date. There is no excuse that buyers cannot get their money back for a defective product. CDPR has completely lost face in the eyes of its devoted fans. I am very disappointed.

Solution: don't use auto hot key use this mod from nexus mods that allows you to rebind all keys https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/102
