Editing your user.ini file is the most advanced way to assign keybinds to the game. Before you do this, it is recommended that you to backup your User.ini file located in your Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\system directory.

Text Guide:

• Step 1: Browse to your Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\system directory.
  
• Step 2: Open User.ini using any text/word editing software. I recommend using Notepad++.
  
• Step 3: Scroll down or use the find text feature to locate the [Engine.Input] section of the ini file. This section contains all of your key bindings for the game.
  
• Step 4: Edit the keybinds to your liking. I will list some recommended keybinds and some explanations for them in another section of this guide.
  
• Step 5: Save the file, launch the game, and test out your new custom keybindings! If they do not work, you can simply revert your changes by replacing the modified User.ini with the one you had backed up previously.

Using this method, you can modify keybinds on the fly while in the game itself. Again it is recommended to backup your User.ini located in the Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\system before you use this method.

Text Guide:

• Step 1: Launch the game.
  
• Step 2: Open the console window by pushing the ` or ~ (grave accent or tilde) key. (This is the default key to open the console, it might be different for you.)
  
• Step 3: While in the console type: "set input KEY_HERE COMMANDS_HERE" (Without the quotes. KEY_HERE is which key you want to bind, example: B, COMMANDS_HERE are the commands you want to bind to the key, example: TossCash. In order to bind multiple commands to a key you must separate the keys using the | seperator. Complete example: set input B TossCash 250 | Speech AUTO 4.)

This is the easiest and most obvious method of modifying your Killing Floor keybinds. However, not all options will be available in this section until you use one of the other methods. As before, it is recommended to backup your User.ini located in your Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\system directory before using this method.

Text Guide:

• Step 1: Launch the game.
  
• Step 2: Select the Settings option on the main menu. Go to the controls tab.
  
• Step 3: Modify your key bindings to your liking.
