Overview
Below is a list of key names for use in binds. Last verified July 2, 2023.
Note: The game can recognize many more keys than have been exposed for players to use. If you have a keyboard key that is not on this list, you may still be able to re-map it through the Keymapping tab in the Options window. Further, the game might interpret your unknown key as a different key name that can be used with binds, and the Keymapping tab may tell you this as well.
