The numeric 0 is much bigger than the 1 and easier to hit making it the easiest to use for pause/un-pause so I can't really see why you would want the 1 key as pause instead of it meaning standard speed. What would you instead use for standard speed 0?
I don't think you understand that people can have vastly different keyboard layouts and mouse button functionality.
People can also have vastly different range of motion with their fingers due to things such as arthritis or other disabilities.
I honestly can't believe there is no option to change keybinds, it really is an issue that needs to be addressed as it is not only very inconvenient for many people but also a frustrating obstacle for people with disabilities.
I know that there can be reasons to change some keys but in this case the 1 key is literally just above the 0 key. You are welcome to suggest a benefit from exchanging the way these two keys work. Mouse buttons were not involved.
I guess I just wanted to point out for example that even my English keyboard has a slightly different layout than usual, the 0 key and 1 key are the same size and 1 is not directly above the 0.
I brought up mouse buttons as I have many extra buttons on the one I use, it would be extremely useful for me personally to be able to change certain bindings to those mouse buttons as I do for most other games. It is very common to be able to bind in game command to use mouse keys, even if its just the standard MB1, 2 and 3 that most mouses have.
I believe that there are enough posts, indicating that:
changing the keys on the keyboard is more than essential these days.But there is still no valid answer to this subject dating from October 2018
- @jpkarlsen One of the biggest benefits is that not everyone uses a keyboard with a number pad. So my 1 is in fact NOT right above the 0 key. Benefit to changing the keys would be (for me) to put the pause on ` instead.
Here in 2025 and the issue remains unsolved.
