Apex Legends: Assigning a new key to alternate interact

Greetings!

I'm using PC for Apex Legends. I noticed that when I assign "Alternate Interact" to another Key on my Keyboard, it won't manifest as a doable button in-game. For example, I assign Alternate Interact to the letter H; Once I'm playing, I pick up an item left behind by my teammate, and the notification on my HUD says "[ / ] Thank (teammate's name)"

This also happens when I'm playing Wraith. I can't warn my teammates when I hear voices from the void.

How can I fix this? Thanks.

    goto

    %userprofile%\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local\settings.cfg

    You will see all the keybinds here you can edit these manually such as team mate thank etc.

    Thank you! Your reply was a big help.

    Apparently, the Action that Apex Legends uses for the "Thank You" is also "Gibraltar's Shield Toggle"

    This was the line I ended up using:

    bind_US_standard "KP_PLUS" "+scriptCommand5" 0

    I got to that file but then when I clicked "open" it instantly crashes

    I'm playing as Wattson and in the settings H is now bound to some character utility? Why wouldn't they explain this new binding? I have no idea what it does and also get the [\] icon. Opened up that .cfg file and don't see anything about thanking teammates

    Try binding the thank you/warning teammates stuff to "open quip wheel" under communication on the keybind settings. Works for me.
