About this mod

LEFT-HANDED remap of keyboard; wip.

Below is a script file for AutoHotkey, a free program. It is the result of two days trying to figure out how AutoHotkey works, and then trying to get the NUMPAD to work. This is not a good solution, as the "E" key seems to be hardwired and really irritating me, but I'm not a programmer, just a retired old guy trying to recover a $60 investment.
First you get AutoHotkey and install it properly. Then download this file and read through it and then read through the AutoHotkey material to understand what you are going to do with this file.
I use my own personal choices for remaps, I included the base code for the other game keys that I did not change, so review them, and once you get how it works, try it out on your own.
===============
Save this text to a simple text file, and then once you have AutoHotkey, you can use this text to create a keyboard remap for Lefties.
Once in game toggle NumPad if no movement occurs.
[file is now available as a zip file]
Everything Below this double line is the text for the .ahk file, so delete from the end of the line below back up to the word "Below."
THEN everything below the double double line is old stuff and just delete it. Might want to learn how AutoHotkey works.

;Right::e ; Activate (e) E key is hardwired in other menus as yet
; solution- is to change inside game [keypress]for e

;Disabled keys. Use this if w/a/x still move player to disable key presses, for example to prevent both e and w from making you move forward.
;w::return
;a::return
;x::return
; modified iceray2000 for ********L E F T I E S *********  Embrace the NumPad!
; reset all keys to default in Settings.
; in-game toggle NumLock to activate keymaps, as this is to enable NumPad control use.
; work in progress. Any insights into further remapping for Lefties?
