E and F Keybinds

    Hello. I'm just dropping by to offer a little suggestion/shine light on an issue.

    In the options you can change your keybindings for PC, and in my case i want to swap the interract/use button (F) with the quest rotary wheel (E)

    This is okay and saves me some reaching with my hand, but rebinding does NOT swap all functions of these keys. Most notably, the "show more" option on the item wheel and map wheel, and the right break key in a rowboat do not change. This double binds some keys and makes certain things impossible to do. You can press F to bring up the maps when rebound, but if you have more than one page, you can not release F to press F again and get your second page out.

    And in rowboats, since the right break seems perma-bound to E, you get out of the boat instead of braking.

    It would be nice to get individual bindings for these keys or have them swap like all the normal bindings.

    I support this request.

    If keys are able to be remapped, all functions for that key should switch accordingly (or even better, allow you to customize those binds separately). Hard coding activation keys causes issues for players who play with different key setups whether that be because of a disability or just simply user preference.

    I couldn't agree more as a lefthanded I use my mouse with my left hand and so I have to rebind everything for every game because default binding is not good for me to play with. While I really enjoy playing SoT it really frustrate me not being able to remap all interface's key bindings.
    IMO it's one of the most important feature in a video game so that every players can have a good experience of gameplay with their preferred key bindings but Rare don't seem to give a damn and that's what's keeping me out of the game.

    Please for the love of gold! I can't believe when I tried setting up my personal keybindings, I can't rebind these keys! It makes playing the game extremely difficult and I can't understand why it hasn't be addressed already in a update.

    I use directional keys on my keyboard and this forces me to lift my hand and re-position every time I go to loot a barrel or when switching to additional items like the music equipment.

    PLEASE ADDRESS THE HARD CODED KEYBINDINGS!!!!

    Yes please! I've dealt with this for months. Barrels are another example of where 'F' doesn't get updated. I have to press E to open the barrel, then F to grab an item.

    I also prefered to rebind my main interaction key to "E" because I'm much more used to this keybind from many other games, which also made me swap my map keybind to F and have the same problem.

    I would also like to add that for people that use keyboards with a different localization than default (QWERTY), the keys to switch from barrels to inventory stay "E" and "Q" even though it doesn't make sense for my AZERTY keyboard (and even though there is an in-game option to switch the keyboard layout).

    This was part of a request I sent a couple of days ago to Rare via the request system along with the game not allowing high enough max value for mouse sensitivity when aiming with a ranged weapon on PC.
    Even though I tried to get used to it, after an extended period of time this has become more and more of a reason for me to NOT launch my game anymore which is disappointing..

    These changes seem like they would not be very complicated or demand a lot of time / ressources to be implemented while they would make a huge QOL difference for some people.

    I am a software developer and I can assure you that this can be fixed in 5 mins by the devs. I am surprised that this has not been fixed for such a long time. Devs, please fix it, I already paid you. Or give me the source code, I will fix it myself.

    I am a left handed player and I am facing the same problem with the E and F keys. I can't enjoy the game due to this issue. It looks like Rare does not give a **** to this problem. VERY DISAPPOINTED!
