Blunt question I know but this is something I found a bit hilarious and baffling because I'm someone that's fairly adaptable as a gamer and for the most part I'm not that bothered about keybindings these days and being able to rebind them. Some people seem to get really bothered about it though and I was seeing on places like steam some absolute sperg sessions about it.
Do you care about this sort of thing? If the layout is pretty normal with WASD and such I don't understand why people would care that much so I'm trying to go out of my way to understand. One repeating trend I saw weirdly was left handed people complaining about it. My argument is this, there's only so many ways one can rebind the keys when it comes to shortcuts, so I can understand doing it for certain actions, but otherwise it seems silly.
lol why would you do that though? :D I mean I get the argument, customisability for the sake of it. I just find it completely bizarre which is exactly why it was a good idea to make the thread. I know some autistic weirdo is going to think ALT + { + } is going to be an appropriate combination for them.
Maybe I've got muscle memory from similar games where it is alt-1. Maybe I find alt-1 more comfortable to press than ctrl-1. Maybe I really love my keyboard overall but my left control key is a bit temperamental/sticky and hitting right control + 1 is super awkward. Maybe I'm just OCD or contrarian. Or probably a bunch more reasons.
The same question though, also applies: Why did the dev pick ctrl-1 instead of alt-1? Maybe the dev is the autistic weirdo?
