Keyboard mapping problems
Why is it not possible to rebind movement to the arrow keys?
This seems like an extremely basic thing, and yet it is just not possible?
Forum Discussion
I just started the game and tried to remap to arrow keys. I suspect mapping was built in for basic keyboards only? Let's go EA, get this fixed immediately. I know no other way to control my game, without my arrow keys!
I find this keyboard mapping issue highly questionable.
This is not possible in 2024.
I personally have trouble using the WASD mapping with the hand that is supposed to be there.
I can't replace WASD with the arrow keys, just because the arrow keys are bound to the eye? Are you kidding?
All AAA games have the ability to do this!
And I regret trusting EA again.
If I had purchased Veilguard on Steam, at least I could have gotten an immediate refund of the purchase.
Since it is unplayable for me.Just confirming that keybinding is still an issue after the first patch. I tested and was still unable to remap Map from M to Tab.
Edit: Still still an issue after the third patch, which allegedly fixed the arrow key rebinding issue. No clue if it fixed that, but I still can't remap Map.
I've noticed an interesting overlap of problems here: some some functions aren't available in keybindings at all. For example, I like to have all of my buttons on my left hand, so for decades I've been rebinding Map to G in other games. Because I can't rebind Map in Veilguard settings, I programmed my keyboard to switch the key functions when I'm in the game. Then I discovered that I can no longer view details of an item in my inventory. The "View details" key is hardcoded to G, and of course, if I press G in inventory, the map opens instead.
So not only do they need to enable rebinding of all of the functions that are currently shown in the controls, they also need to add in the other functions that aren't even available in the controls.

which client are you playing on?
please help us, this affect 10-15% of all gamers.
It's not just WASD/arrows that won't rebind properly, so it's way more than just the left-handed people affected. It's unbelievable that this wasn't caught before launch.
Pc, the Steam version
same problem with the ea app on pc
I'm having a possibly related issue: I'm trying to rebind Map to Tab, but most keys I try (including Tab) it doesn't even register. I am able to bind other things to Tab (for example, it's currently set to Lock-On).
Steam version, Win11.
Same issue here; I can rebind most things to any key combo I want, but several of the keybinds in the UI section won't accept new keybinds. I was able to bind a new key to open inventory menu, but can't rebind others like map or journal.
(EA App version, Win10)
Still a problem after three patches, including one that allegedly fixed the arrow rebinding. Get your **bleep** together, please, BioWare.
Odd,after the patch I just changed the keybinds from WASD to arrows and it's working fine for me now
Simply swap WASD and arrow keys for the time you're playing.
