Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Remapping controls to numpad doesn't work

Any update?

No. The rewritten input system will likely not be implemented until the upcoming large balancing update (with the harder difficulty mode and added skills).

Patch downloaded today. It's still not fixed.

Still waiting.

Still waiting. This is ridiculous.

It still isn't being implemented until the next large update, which is "some months" from being done.

Wait for the update or setup a custom keyboard layout so you can remap the keys you want where you want them.

I just bought the game on GOG, fired it up and, being a leftie, I immediately ran into the exact same issues as Wizzleteats did. I'm amazed that he's still bumping this thread!

Considering this appears to have been an ongoing issue for almost a year now (according to this thread), it looks like I should have done some research before buying....

Because in its current state the game is a real pain to play for a left-handed person. In addition to the broken keyboard remapping it also forces one to use the left STRG and ALT keys - which completely destroys playability for me.

Honestly, if it takes several months to even years to fix this I have little hope of ever playing this game. For certain, I'm not as patient as Wizzleteats.

Sorry for the rant but I had plans to play (and enjoy playing) this game.

Set up a custom keyboard layout, or use Autohotkey to remap the right Alt/Ctrl keys to function as the left ones, or swap mouse buttons, etc.

You can also swap mouse buttons by hex editing the Engine.pak file, in the '..\Divinity - Original Sin\Data' folder. If you want to make a backup of this file, do so in another folder; having extra pak files (even renamed) in this folder can cause the game to crash on startup.
In a hex editor, such as XVI, open the Engine.pak file, search for the text string MOUSEBUTTON1 and change the 4 instances to MOUSEBUTTONa (either manually, or use the search and replace function). Next, replace MOUSEBUTTON2 with MOUSEBUTTON1, and then replace MOUSEBUTTONa with MOUSEBUTTON2.

Okay thanks, will give this a try.

Well, the enhanced edition is out and the numberpad is STILL NOT FIXED! Why?
