By default, quick delete is right click. But if you know me, you know I very much dislike this idea. So I re-bind this key to "Del" key.
HOWEVER,

  • when you hold down the "del" key and move your cursor across buildings to be deleted, nothing actually happens.
  • When you bind it to another key (non-system, such as Numpad5), it starts to work again.

As I use mouse with my left hand sometimes, I bound most of the quick-action keys to the numpad.
The OTHER issue arises:

  • Currently, the game differentiates between Left Shift and Right Shift, Left and right Alt, Left and Right Ctrl, and Enter and Numpad Enter.
#

I have to assume that the game reads keys with DirectInput (or whatever framework bundled with Unity/DirectX) "designed for videogames", since I discovered the following:

  • You can bind System keys (e.g., Numlock, CapsLock) and it will work as intended.
  • You can even bind the Windows key (show up as the mac "flower"), Alt Gr (called "Menu"), and Print Screen, and all of them will work as intended. I assume this extend to other function keys, but I can't find any more of it to press, so 🙂

And of course, Function keys (e.g., F1, F3, etc).

but on the subject of numpads:
___
The numpad Alternative Function Keys (e.g., home, end, arrow keys) will work as intended, and will block Numpad keys from being recognized by the game, when Numlock is off. This is intended behavior, and the game does not differentiate between the numpad versions and the regular navigation versions.

Oh yes, I am on Windows 10. 22H2.

I actually think it's pefectly fine to differentiate between left and right Shift keys, however giving users the ability to choose would, at least in my opinion, be the best of both worlds. But at least indicate that there is a difference (between left and right)

Or for it to be non-differentiating. Doesn't really matter.

I have kept it as feedback to the issues. Thanks for all the details! 🙂

Also, the game is not allowing keybinds with shift+Numpad, etc.
