fullfordtb Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 As a left-handed player, I use the keypad for everything (8426 for movement, 5 for activate, Enter for jump, / for reload, + for pipboy, etc.). For me, playing a game with WASD is as natural as playing with my toes and elbows... Fallout 3 has custom key mapping except for the 'Take All = A' and 'Exit = E' functions. Seems small, but every time I loot a container (which is more common in FO3 than combat), I have to go from using hotkeys to clicking on the function, or reaching over for the A/E keys. Skyrim lets you map those functions, but FO3 does not and it's surprisingly frustrating. I don't know how difficult it would be to make the Take All and Exit container functions custom-mappable, but I sure would love to see it. If that's too complex, than a hardcoded mod to remap Take All to keypad asterisk and Exit to keypad minus would suit me personally - though I'm sure other left-handed players would map them to other keys. Statistically, at least a tenth of all PC gamers are left-handed - shame on developers that only allow WASD or don't allow the keypad to be re-mapped!
nefariouslover Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Look into AutoHotkey, there's easy ways to remap keys for games that fail to provide the option. Also way easier than writing a mod. I agree it's not the right kind of solution (it should just be included in vanilla) but it's probably your best option.
NinjaSushi2 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 As a left handed gamer I agree 100%. I too play on the num pad and I soon hope to buy a game pad and just use a kep mapper for that. For now I will just key map two keys, (maybe page up and page down) for A and E.
