totally Mind boggling

I really hope you do not take this the wrong way but

whoever came up with the key mapping for space engineers should be smacked .

How on earth (no pun intended) do you put out a keyboard layout with a game in 3D space and not put multi key functions.

let me explain  i will use the arrow keys as my example for this email

the character runs on the ground using the arrow keys forward, backward, Left, and right,

but you have 3D game play because of zero gravity or jetpack ,

Z axis depending on what game engine you use or 3D software like 3DS Max uses the z axis move object up/down, y axis move left/right, and x move front/back  other game engines use the Y axis for up and down 

Why was multi Key Function not introduced  Example (Right Shift + Arrow Key up ,Right Shift + Arrow Key Down, Right Shift + Arrow Key Right, R Shift + Arrow Key Left to be able to move in 3D space while still being able to use your arrow keys for 2D Movement Forward ,Backward, Left, Right. 

Can you please implement this in the game? It would help people so much and it would free up keys that can be used in other places .

This is extremely frustrating to say it (politely) and has prevented me from playing your game. I am an arrow key user as are 40 percent of most players or more ..

Please get back to me and let me know what your answer is .

I realize you are very busy and do not have time to answer every email but this is very important which also may be preventing a lot of sales of your game.

 This could only strengthen your connections to your player base ,and shows you do care about all your player base, not just the majority .

but those that are disabled as well, that can not use a keyboard the same way most players do as well as to include your left handed players too, also it would make great advertising for you.

Thank you for your time
