Redefined crouch to Left Control does not work in Level/POI editor.

[MutantArtCat]

Hey all, I had 7DTD for years but only started playing last year in A21. I did dive into some modding too, but I put everything on hold when 1.0 was announced. Now I'm back into the game and I wanted to try and do some POI creating, but I'm running into an issue in the editor.

I'm extremely used to having control as my crouch key, so in any game where C takes this place, I will change it to Control and switch the functions. This works in the game, but when I open the editor, Control does not lower me. If I change crouch back to C, C works fine. Now of course I could work that way but since being used to playing and building and editing with Control for that, it will be annoying and slow me down, so if there is a possibility to change it I would love to do that. If it is not an option because Control is linked to certain keybinds in the editor, I'll deal with it obviously ^^

I'm a bit confused on two parts. In-game, I use left-control to toggle crouch on/off. I could use C, but then I have to hold that key down which doesn't workout well for me. I think both of those are the default key mappings; I don't remember using anything except the default.

In the Prefab Editor I never crouch. I've never had a need to do so because I can fly through blocks and get to any perspective.

Thx!

Yes, default Control is toggle crouch, I don't like toggled moving, not for running or crouching, so I switch toggle crouch to C and crouch hold to Control. When in the editor, if you want to fly down you would use the hold crouch key to do that, but since mine is set to Control, I can not fly down. This is especially a problem when wanting to do something underground. Crouch=fly down.

I've found that remapping keys generally makes the Editor a PITA to use, because of the amount of editor shortcuts that it can break.

That's my guess to what's happening, so I'll probably work around it in the end, but I want to check first if there is nothing that can be done about it.

Oh yeh. Thats just reflex I guess and forgot which key I was using.

I've heard of others having trouble in the Prefab Editor when they had remapped keys.
