Let's add customizable keybindings

Hi,

Customizable keybindings are a fairly standard feature of video games, giving every player the choice as to what key or controller button to press to perform a certain action.

It enhances accessibility for those who do not use standard setups, and having such a mechanism in place can facilitate porting a game to other platforms. Cool example of accessiblity needs: Guild Wars 2 Player Kicks Ass Using Only His Cheek, Mouth [kotaku.com]

I was surprised when I learned that CapLab changed the basic navigational keys from Cap2... [, ], pgup, pgdown are now the arrow keys. Such things can be made less irritating :D

Sound good?

Who says "no" to a standard option? It's something you expect to see in the options menu, like having a volume control. But, "no thanks, I have volume control on my speakers," eh?
Hey, I'll change my vote if you change yours. :ugeek:

Equally confused by the guy who voted "no". Perhaps you should be playing on the console rather than the PC.

bump. For me, not being able to move the screen with just arrow keys is very, very annoying.

Arrow keys would be nice. I miss the page up and page down to go to the next firm.
