Changed keybinds, cant find the keybind to trigger long range scan.

Post by Omni-Orb » Sat, 23. Oct 21, 20:08

Hei, i changed a lot of my keybinds, however i cant find a keybind to trigger the long range scan. I bound something else to that key and now it diesnt work, and i cant find it. I tried unbinding the key i bound to that button, however it seems the keybind is lost for good. I might not know what the keybind is called however i check the whole list over 5 times and i just cant see it.

In my game, if long-range scan mode is active, it triggers when R is held down and released for an appropriate time. The binding for R is Fire secondary weapons (under Controls: General / Weapons). In fact, all of the Fire secondary weapons bindings trigger it.

I have the same issue again with another keybind. This time i cant find the key to accept incoming transmissions. It must share a key with something else however i cant seem to find out what. It would be nice if controls are updated to show what each keybinding does, especially if it has multiple uses

When you change a keybind from default to something else, the in-game profiler does tell you if it clashes or duplicates another function. What you do about it is left up to you unless it would be a game-breaker and/or is disallowed, in which case it does not let you make the change.

You should be able to find the function (F by default) listed as 'Interaction Menu' in Settings/Controls/General.
