foo_: Now that you've got Witcher 3 installed and running (hopefully)... you will find the key bindings missing the most important part: the movement keys.

They may have been "WASD", which is bad enough for people with less than pudgy hands, long fingers or similar "nonstandard" extremities. For me, it's even "W" and "S" for forward, but cursor keys for sideways movement.
Heh. A nice one to play on people eagerly awaiting the newest installment of their favourite series.

Now, after we all had our laughs: For when is the patch scheduled that allows players to rebind all keys - including the movement keys?
Check your Witcher 3 page. 1.4 update states that any key can now be rebinded.

That's a nice progress;

however, unfortunately it's not true. Some keybindings still don't work; and I read from others that some keys were still hardcoded.

It's an improvement, but not finished yet.

SilverQuick123: So disappointed! As someone with the use of only one hand, keyboard/mouse configs let me play. Unfortunately, this game does not allow you to change directional (W, S, A, D) bindings. No way I can play - $85 down the drain! I'm sure if you have 2 hands, it's fine.

Apeshit: I've since discovered that you can edit the input.settings file located at C:\Users\YourName\Documents\The Witcher 3\ and save it as Read Only. It's not easy but it's doable with patience.
There also seems to be a project here: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/39247-PC-W3CC-Witcher-3-Control-Configuration-Editor
also http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/16/?
Use at your own risk.
Oh, I did that.
The game keeps ignoring some keybindings - including some of those you can configure in the game menu now.
You'll find the keybindings in the input.settings, but they have no effect in-game.

Recent patch fixed this issue.
Took some months, but finally, all keys (AFAIK) are rebindable now - and work as they should.

Issue fixed, may close, thanks CDPR.

Ugh. I haven't tried Witcher3 yet (have it though) and you really can't rebind the movement keys? Gross. WASD is awful -- I have no idea how it came to be standard. Especially as a lefty! I always move them over to the arrows or, if I need the key density around it, the number pad.

Glad the patch seemed to fix it.

Phew, what a ridiculous omission...
