    Please free up keyboard bind options for weirdos like me

    First off I am absolutely blown away at how amazing the game engine has gotten. The options and settings all work extremely well and I'm proud to show off the game to my friends and family who had problems with settings in Far Cry 4.

    That being said, I'm having trouble with binding keys to some very needed areas on my keyboard.

    Most of the buttons on the NumPad can be bound but for some reason the Decimal/Delete key can't be bound to anything it seems. This has been my "Interact" button for every game for the last 20 years.

    Also a few keys that show up in menus when proper context is being shown (Like in the backpack Menu, when hovering over ingredients it says "Press F to Consume"... the "F" can't be rebound to anything as it (and some others) don't show up in the key bind settings list at all. It seems some keys are hidden under the hood and mandated to those sub menu functions like that.

    I know I'm the weirdo here not only being left handed but just not being taught keyboarding so I'm never going to get comfortable simply switching to the WASD or IJKL everyone else, but is there any hope you guys can free up some of these mandated keys for offshoot freaks like me who use Arrow Keys and NumPad for gaming?

    Using a controller has been "meh" so far, but I really miss my mouse/keyboard.

    If anyone knows of any good 3rd party software I can use or files I can edit to enable editing keys with total freedom I'm open to suggestions there too.

    Thanks for any help/info/suggestions and sorry my first post is a whiny one. This game is a masterpiece and even though I need my goofy-foot controls I'm not deducting any points from my love for the franchise.

    Numpad decimal / Del key

    You're not the only weirdo, for me I've used the numpad for everything, except i use .del / decimal for crouching

    8 - =forward
    2 - =back
    1 + 3 - =Strafe
    Num + =Reload
    Num Enter = Enter / Interact
    Num 0 = Jump
    Num .del = crouch
    Num 7,9,4,6 = varies depending on the game
    Num / = Map
    Num *, - = varied
    Right arrow = sprint

    So i can use every key in the numpad except for .del / decimal, its super frustrating and feels weird that i dont have it
