Evening all. I'm an ESDF player instead of WASD. Been playing like that since the Quake days, and I was taught to type so my hand naturally rests on those keys.

Anyways, I looked through all the settings and can't seem to find a way to remap the keys. I'd like:

  • W -> E
  • A -> S
  • S -> D
  • D -> F

I've remapped my forward/back and left/right sidesteps in the normal keybind menu.

Appreciate any assistance you can provide! Thanks!

So you have remapped your WASD movement keys to ESDF and you need to remap the E) S) D) F) menu shortcuts to other keys to prevent conflicts, right ?

I've remapped the menu shortcuts I could. I am also using WASD Menu Controls from lStewieAI, So the pipboy controls are still bound to WASD as is the map panning. I was hoping it would use the keybinds in the settings, but it does not. His mod mentions that it requires a UI like VUI+ to function. So I'm not sure which mod I would need to change. If it's all on his end that's cool, just helps me track down where I need to focus on.

I've asked on his forum page as well.

There's an option to use a WASD-compatible remapping during installation. This is what you need.

BTW, I thought WASD was older than ESDF because I remeber using WASXD in Ultima Underworld.
