I'm left-handed and as such, I prefer to remap keyboard controls to the numpad. I've done so via the controls menu and I can see the new bindings I've selected are present and listed properly on the controls screen, the game doesn't actually recognize the numpad properly. Currently, the game engine doesn't differentiate between the number keys on the numpad and the 0-9 number keys above the QWERTY keyboard. For example, I assigned "NUM 8" to the "move camera forward" command yet when I press NUM 8, the game sees this key input as the "8" key above the "U" and "I" keys and then accesses whatever has been mapped to the position 8 slot in the quick bar.

Could you please address this in an upcoming patch?

I hope on release I can remap the control key to alt.

As a left-hander who uses the mouse right-handed my hand rests nicely with my thumb over the alt key, which makes it a great modifier but also bars me from easily manipulating the shift or control keys as modifiers.

Let's wait for release, since they're all frantically fixing last minute bugs right now, and hope the keymapping is improved a lot upon release.

Just wanted to bump this, I'm also left handed, play with numpad and it's frustrating to be unable to do so!

I also would like to see the functionality currently assigned to left ctrl and left alt also applied to right ctrl and alt, and an option to switch the left and right mouse buttons.

Thanks!

Don't use controllers, me, and am right-handed, but you'd sure as hell be amping your customer base if you support both those groups.

Keep it in mind.

Same for me, especially with regards to the Right Control and Alt Keys.
