I see that there is supposed to be preset profile for lefthand key mapping, but I don't see a place where I can choose that. I can remap manually of course, but there are so many keys, I would really like to take advantage of this feature.

Could someone tell me how to load a key profile? I am using the latest version with the kexengine.cfg.

Thanks.

According to the changelog, you should be able to choose the preset for left-handed directly in game options, however I can't check this for you.

Go to the game's folder and open controls.cfg: uncommenting the line for the left-handed profile, you should be able to enable it, but make sure to disable the other profiles. The file should be edited this way:

[...]
# set profile original
# set profile custom
set profile lefthanded
[...]
Save the file and run the game.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the effort.

The problem is that the setting is not present in game, at least not where you would think. There is only the choice to reset to classic or enhanced mapping.

As for controls.cfg, that file does not exist. From what I can tell, source port switched to using kexengine.cfg and there is no commented out choice for profile.

Sorry about that. You can read the changelog here. It clearly states: "In-Game remappable keys with three profiles to choose from: original controls, custom controls, and lefthanded controls".

I'm sorry: being unable to check for yourself, I used information I got from this thread.

Basically, as far as I know, the Enhanced Edition introduced key bindings, which was not featured in the original game, and the Source Port Update further improved it introducing control profiles.

Is kexengine.cfg located in the game folder or in %APPDATA%? Maybe controls.cfg is in the same directory.
