Free-Look/Descend/Crouch Keys Don't Correctly Rebind

As of VS 2.2, when free-look and descend keys are rebound to my preferred functionality, free-look persists as "L Alt" despite being "rebound" to "C," and "C" ceases to function entirely.


The result is "L Alt" correctly descends, but it ALSO acts as free-look, making ship steering impossible while descending, while simultaneously, "C" does nothing, despite being rebound.


All I want is to have the controls I had for 3,000+ hours in SE1, but in SE2.

I want "L Alt" and "C" functionalities swapped, so crouch/descend is "L Alt" (because it's a large key right next to "Space-bar"), and free-look to be "C".


I don't know what's causing this, but it seems whatever config file controls key mapping, is not correctly updating rebound keys, causing dual (or no) functionality. That's my guess.

I would really appreciate y'all looking into this.

You fixed the arrow key bind issue in another ticket.

I really want to play this new update, but I just can't get past these controls.

Very frustrating, as I just want "C" and "L Alt" functions swapped. Nothing crazy, just two keys.

Thank you.

Keen, please, someone read this.

This bug is still ongoing. Can't rebind free-look to "C;" it remains bound to "L Alt."

I also have this bug. I rebind free-look to Mouse4 with no response, Alt still controls free-look. weirdly enough double clicking Mouse4 will recenter the free-look. Same thing when I attempt to rebind free-look to other keys.

Need some visibility on this bug.

Please, Keen, somebody fix it. I've barely played this game because of the awful default controls that I can't change.

Why would descend ever be a tiny little button like "C" when there's a big button right next to the space bar (used to ascend) begging to be used?
