lefthanders left out?
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

Hello,

might not be the best forum cause its not realy a bug but........this game is almost not playable for lefthanders. Why the keybinds needs to be so complex? Its not arma where you need 50 keybinds (i also bought arma 3 and had to ditch that game for controlls). Why are the lefthanders always forgotten by developers?

I am not here to discuss another game but for example "miscreated" same kinda game has 1 page bindings (dayz has 4-5) and you can the same. PLS let us lefthanders also play this amazing game.

Hello altijdwat and thank you for your feedback.
Are there any specific suggestions you have in mind to improve the gameplay for left handed people?
Feel free to post them in here.

Sorry....I was on a short holliday :)

well the most important is as mentioned above the keybindingings . As example why give all free look a direction...alt does the same and I realy think all the free look binds aren't needed for righthand players also.

You guys could make a lefthand preconfig. Don't use fixed keys.

hope this helps...and the reason why I posted this here.....there was no way I could make a normal forum account.

Hello altijdwat.
We have checked, and it is currently possible to unbind all the num keys and bind them as directional buttons. Is the issue in the fact that there is no preset, which you could select without manually unbinding the keys?

Geez

to setup as a righthander it takes 2 minutes..for a lefty it can be overwhelming (took me 1.5 hours to figure it out). Optic zoom in and out cant be set to mouse scroll (I know they are used for current action but cant be that hard that if your in optic they can be used as zoom...I can be very wrong offcourse^^). Cant use any other mouse buttons (for example and this is what I use for other games) mid mouse for throw....the forward and backward buttons cant be use at all.

*edit* oke the zoom in/out works now......if you pres assign the game doesnt react on scrolling but....it was as special key on the right side :) I finaly found the other mouse keys :)
The middle mouse works.....

Hello altijdwat.
Does that mean that all your mouse buttons can be assigned correctly?

Hello altijdwat.
Glad to hear that everything is working correctly. If you do have any suggestions on how the possible preset for left handed players should look like (at least approximately - for example, the keys that should be used for movement or quickbar), feel free to post them here.
Regards,
Geez

Well...:) the quickbar will always be a problem for lefty's......you got no keys to rebind all 10.

why don't you simply make screenshots of you keybindings in your controll Options?
so BIS can easily integrate them as a preset in their next update.

the scrolling with mouse (hunter scope) doesnt work as smooth as the + and - do on the numpad.

Since I bound scrolling to the mouse...if I scroll whitout a scope (when i run or so) the screen stutters (i hope this is the correct english word for it).
