The Key Bindings menu.
The Key Bindings menu allows the customization of keyboard and mouse controls for the PC platform and changing of preferences.
Overview[ | ]
The Key Bindings menu can be directly accessed from the Controls submenu in the Settings submenu in the Game menu.
This menu is only available to the PC platform. The PC platform has the greatest possible customization of controls. The PC can use the keyboard, mouse, and/or Xbox style controller.
Mechanics[ | ]
There are 4 tabs: On Foot, Nomad, Galaxy Map, and UI. Each action can have a primary and a secondary key binding. Most actions do not have default secondary bindings. Default key bindings can be changed by highlighting the bindings and pressing [SPACE] or clicking the left mouse button. Bindings can be cleared by pressing [X]. Use the left and right arrow keys to switch between primary and secondary bindings. Pressing [V] resets all key bindings to the default.
