Binding Fire control key has no effect, remains bound to left mouse button.

Description

I use left mouse to move forward, and right mouse to fire weapon. Configured accordingly in assignments under control. In game with melee equiped, left mouse moves forward AND fires, while right mouse doesn't work at all.

I have also encountered this issue when binding the 'Fire' command to the Left Ctrl button whilst having the 'Move Forward' command bound to the Left Mouse button.

I've noticed that the same thing occurs with other functions when they are changed around.

Hate to beat a dead horse here... but

Most, if not all of the issues linked are related to the same issue regarding hardcoded keybindings. You can NOT unbind fire from the left mouse button no matter what. If you use left mouse button to move forward, you will ALSO fire your weapon(gun or melee). You can not assign fire to the right mouse button, as it becomes unresponsive, and still remains on the LMB. Despite editing the settings in the DayZ Other Profiles folder in my documents, and manually assigning RMB to fire, LMB still fires even though it only shows move forward bound to LMB. This issue persists through inventory screen etc, where some players have issues with moving around and firing weapon while clicking on things in the inventory. If you try to write a note, even with default controls, you will move around if you press w a s or d. I am 98% certain all these issues are tied to the same underlying issue, so I recommend that these reports become merged.

People are still reporting this issue with new bug reports, but there has still been no dev acknowledgment. Please continue to upvote this so that it is handled soon. Game breaking for anybody who uses custom controls and wishes to remap the mouse buttons (Among other things)

Hello,

We are aware of this issue, please refer to: #0008372: Mouse buttons will always Fire and Zoom even if they are unassigned from those functions for further informations and development.

Thank you for your feedback.

The summary should be changed to something like, "Binding Fire control key has no effect, remains bound to left mouse button" to make this report easier to find.
