As of this patch, I can’t shift+click the minimap with my right shift key. I’m left handed, so I need it there, and there’s no way to remap it as far as I can see.

Still works the same for me. Left for pings and right for drawing.

Not the mouse buttons, the shift key on the other side of the keyboard.

There were some changes added in the Options menus. No idea if any were added concerning your issue, but you could check through Options, just in case.

Good luck.

Left and right shift were separated to match control and alt’s behavior.

Well, there you go. The Devs probably should have put these changes in the Patch Notes.

This is a game breaking function for left handed players. We Map/Bind our Game Key’s to the Right Side of the Keyboard. We normally use Cursor Key’s to move around, by taking away the Shift/CTRL/ALT from that side of the keyboard, we are forced to cross our arm in front of us causing discomfort, RSI is not something I want from this game. Please give us the option to change which side of the keyboard we can have those keys active on so we can use them without the discomfort.

Regards,
GroundFrog.

They did – read more closely what is written above

The keys are separate, and BOTH are usable as controls. You will have to re-pick in the options, but then there will be “right shift key” in it.

The difference is that you can now select “right shift key” or “left shift key”, instead of both acting as the same button.

And I agree, this stuff should be in the change notes.

These particular actions are not rebindable.

Just adding some volume to this issue.

Please either re-enable these commands for both left and right shift, or at least make them bindable. You’re actively hurting a large, and frequently ignored portion of your playerbase with this change.

While their functionality has been separated, these aren’t in the options to rebind. If that were the case, I would just move it to a more easily accessible key. Hope it’s fixed soon. I can’t PVP as is.

This is a game breaking function for left handed players.

Um, no. I’m left-handed and it didn’t affect me at all.

I’d prefer it if ANet set it up so we could choose which side of the keyboard worked as a control, which worked as keys and I always prefer that they give us a heads up about changes that affect inputs.

So let’s just say that this a big deal for people who favor using the right-side of the keyboard, regardless of why they might do so.

We’ll be looking into options to help alleviate these where possible. I cannot guarantee if or when that will happen though, given prioritization of issues…

The option to choose which side of the keyboard would be great as a remap under options without being forced to use some 3rd party program to do so.

maybe “game breaking” was a little direct but that’s how it feels from my side of the keyboard.

This is what I was trying to convey but can never get the words to come out in the right order.
