There are a few set keys/buttons within the game that cannot be remapped and should be able to.
Here is the list of actions that cannot be rekeybound.
- Exiting a Barrel
- Select "Bait" in Item Wheel
- Select "More" in any Wheel
- Select "Throwables" in the Item Wheel (it can be done via a separate interaction so this one isn't as needed, but should just overlap the keybind into this interaction).
The first three are the most significant, lets preface this with the fact I am left handed, I rekeymap everything in every single game I play and everything works for me. Most of the time esc. for options or something isn't an issue however, exiting a barrel while in the middle of a fight I have to move my hand off my mouse to reach it quickly and it has gotten me killed before due to how my keyboard is set up (help button above my escape button which opens a google window).
In Minecraft I use the same rebound keybinds and it works wonders. I open with num6 and close with num4. In SoT these keys are my interact button (grab ladder etc.) and open item wheel (num4). If SoT would allow some interactions to share the same keybinds like rowboat allows then this would greatly increase comfort and efficiency of players who choose to embrace their differences.
JUST FOR FUN
There should also be a keybind that would be solely for fun/stealth plays. 1 Keybind to instantly play the first emote in your first item wheel. This would enable people to hide on the fly faster instead of waiting on the emote wheel and selecting it in high stress situations. It would also enable people to use any emote quickly that most fits their character, be it dabbing on people you kill, dusting your shoulders off after landing a cannon launch on another ship, or waving as your friend barely misses the ladder for the 5th time in an hour. This isn't as needed but would be an appreciated quality of life update imo.
