Keyboard rebinding issue - and possible cause found

Description

Hi, I'm unable to rebind my keys properly. I'm left handed, so use my Numpad for several actions, including moving and driving, etc.

If I rebind my Num8 (move forward), Num5 (move backwards), Num4 (strafe left) and Num6 (strafe right), then my character does not move as expected. I can move forward and right perfectly fine, but cannot move back or left.

I tried to remove the previous binds, reset binds, etc., but no luck. However, today I tried doing it again using advanced binding, and found that if I try and bind my "move back" key, it shows assign character moveforward as the bind option, as per screenshot. Same applies to the strafe left key, that binds to strafe right. This is also the case for driving. Hope this helps you fix the issue.

I'm listing this as a minor issue, but it's pretty major for anyone who plays with rebinded keys - as this makes the game completely unplayable for me.

OK, just had a look at the InputUserSettings.conf file, and the actions for move left and move back isn't even in the file, and this is after a fresh install. :(

Example:
}

}
Action CharacterForward {
 InputSource InputSourceSum "{5CDC1B2C47309671}" {
  Sources {
   InputSourceValue "{5CDC1B2C47309629}" {
    FilterPreset "primary:forward"
    Input "keyboard:KC_NUMPAD8"
   }
   InputSourceValue "{5CDC1B2C46DEADD4}" {
    FilterPreset "primary:back"
    Input "keyboard:KC_NUMPAD5"
   }
   InputSourceValue "{5F056066E69A05E5}" {
    FilterPreset "forward"
    Input "keyboard:KC_NUMPAD8"
   }
   InputSourceValue "{5F0560661D403C92}" {
    FilterPreset "back"
    Input "keyboard:KC_NUMPAD5"
   }
  }
 }
}
Action CharacterRight {

In addition to the above, I have tried to rebind my vehicle driving keys too, and that only partially works. Num8 for driving forward works, Num4 for turning left works, Num5 for braking and reversing works, Num6 for turning right does not work at all. I assume it's the same problem as above.

This is still occurring. Unable to rebind all keys, and this makes the game unplayable for left-handed gamers.

Hello Rippedgeek.
If you delete your config/profiles, does the issue still occur?
