Guild Wars 2

Consider a player with one hand/ 4 fingers an adjusted mouse.. finding out that the action key..SHIFT.. programmed as their utility key for every other game out there can’t be changed so not this person with 1 hand has to use his forhead to smash on a keyboard he shouldn’t use.. because he bought a 300€ mouse so he can enjoy guildwars2.. ..

Please for the love of onehanded digidont’s unbind shift..

please.

I currently have “shift” bound to be my jump key. You should have no problem binding it to other actions. Which utility skill slot are you attempting to bind it to that it will not accept it properly?

hi, thanks for responding.
Shift is the normally jump key, but because using only a mouse with keys attatched to it at times it is simply not possible for player “not” to click play, and hence shift makes windows pop up, draws on minimap, pings skills in chat etc etc etc..

I meant utility as in the “use” button.. sorry. it simply doesn’t stick to anything i bind it to because the game has it locked.

Ah, I see. I did not understand.
‘Spacebar’ is the default key for ‘Jump’ and not ‘Shift’, so I thought you were looking for a resolution to a soft-binding issue.

I agree with you that the hard-binding of ‘Shift’ for those other, specific functions should be fully reconfigurable, as well as other hard-bound keys for specific functions.

Drawing on your map should be whatever key you want it to be, not what they want you to be forced to use. If someone wants to hold ‘P’, ‘F8’ (or even Mouse3) to begin drawing on the map then they should be able to change that key to what they want no matter what their reasoning may be for wanting to change it.

Another example:
Placing a personal marker on your map requires holding ‘Left Alt’ when placing it, but of the two ‘Alt’ keys I want it to be ‘Right Alt’. The wiki just says “ALT”, but it is actually hard-bound and limited to only ‘Left Alt’, not either/or.

I don’t even use most of those ‘features’ (marker, drawing, many others) anymore because I cannot customize the key used for them. Many games I cannot even play more than a minute before uninstalling and returning/destroying them because they lack some or all customizable key bindings that I wish to reconfigure so I can function efficiently and actually enjoy the game.

Every function should be able to have its key customizable and there is no valid and truthful justification for them to not be.

Exactly as you describe.
I can only hope someone will take note.

This was mentioned during beta and nothing has changed to this point….don’t mean to burst your bubble, but……doubtful.

Anet, are you out there?
