FREEDOM TO BIND YOUR OWN KEYS!!!

Who wants the freedom to bind any function in the game to any key on the keyboard!!
I DO!!! Lets hear it everyone, tell SE what you want!! Lets make it happen!
Freedom to the players!!! :cool:

I believe it's been mentioned somewhere that this is being looked into... possibly on the JP translation thread... *searches*

Found this:Rukkirii talking about expanded keymapping.

Though i thought there was also a rep post about the ability to map any key... *Still searching*

Thank you Ferth, good to know. ^^ Lets hope they open it up to %100 customization!

I totally agree with Mykro, this is def a good idea and I hope the dev's take a look at this *HEY DEV LOOK HERE*

It will help with making the controls more accustomed to my tastes.

OK I give up trying to find the post about all keys becoming mappable... If anyone else knows where it is, feel free to post it.

That being said, I totally agree, and can't wait to have my arrow keys back.

100% freedom map keys=100% satisfied to all of us

I dont c why dont they do that. (if that is impossible in programming, sorry we might ask too much, if not please implete that when u can SE. U guys r great, thing r getting better an better now :). )

Define "any function"?

You do realise you can bind quite a few right now under "other" in keyb config. I don't know how many more do you need to bind...

It's a silly thing really, but what would make me happiest is if I could bind the character movement to the arrow keys instead of having to use IJKL.

That's the way it worked in FFXI and I hate feeling like I "have to" use a gamepad to play FFXIV comfortably. If I could just swap the functions of the arrow keys with IJKL, one of my biggest gripes about this game would be eliminated.

They need to add keybinds for specific parts of the bar. For example my first bar would be "1,2,3,4,5,6,x,c,v,g" and I would be able to taunt by hitting x. This way I could control movement, general tab targeting, and abilities as fast as possible with my left hand and control camera and specific targeting with my right hand (mouse).

Also shift+keys and mouse button(4,5) binds would be great. Instead of flipping to the second bar I would use shift (shift+1, shift+2, shift+3, shift+c, etc). Right now I'm using the macro bars as duck tape but I have to type them in every time I want to change up my bars.

Yes, I realize what is in the keyboard config O.o. And what I mean by any function is, currently the arrow keys do multiple tasks because they are bound to one key. I want the option to set my arrow keys to move the camera and navigate menus, then set the keys that scroll the action bar to any other keys I want "undecided," and the target modes need to just be put in the menu because using the arrow keys to change target modes is just a terrible idea. I just want the controls to just go back to the way the were in FFXI but have the option to set the action bar scroll keys to what ever I want. Let me simplify this for you,

Current arrow key functions:
Cycle targets Left
Cycle targets Right
Change target modes Up
Change target modes Down
Navigate menus
Scroll ability bar Up (when they feel like it)
Scroll ability bar Down
Scroll ability bar Right
Scroll ability bar Left

What I want to see in the keyboard config is this :

Cycle targets Left --------------- What ever key/s we want
Cycle targets Right ------------- What ever key/s we want
Change target modes Up ------ What ever key/s we want
Change target modes Down --- What ever key/s we want
Navigate menus ---------------- What ever keys we want
Scroll ability bar Up ------------ What ever key/s we want
Scroll ability bar Down -------- What ever key/s we want
Scroll ability bar Right -------- What ever key/s we want
Scroll ability bar Left ---------- What ever key/s we want
Move Camera to the left ------ What ever key/s we want
Move camera to the right ----- What ever key/s we want

Starting to make sense?

When I say any function I mean any function the keyboard is currently used for but bindable to any key we want. And yes I know the camera gives us the option to map our own keys, but why not the arrow keys?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you use a controller, if you do then this thread isn't for you.
