Binding the CTRL key to Crouch instead of C

Question

When in the key bindings menu of the fully-updated Borderlands 2 Mac (Steam), I click on Crouch which is by default bound to C, the box pops up waiting for me to press the new key to bind. On Mac (OS X Mavericks), pressing the Left Ctrl does nothing -- it continues waiting for a key press. On Windows, it works as expected.

Has anyone found a way to work around this?

Answer 1

You can use Karabiner with the following autogen:

<autogen>
  __KeyToKey__
  KeyCode::CONTROL_L | ModifierFlag::NONE,
  KeyCode::C
</autogen>

You can limit this to Borderlands with an appdef, and using <only>BORDERLANDS</only> above:

<appdef>
  <appname>BORDERLANDS</appname>
  <equal>{{bundleid}}</equal>
</appdef>

^{Replace {{bundleid}} with the bundle identifier of Borderlands 2.}

Answer 2

You should be able to modify manually the keybindings in the WillowInput.ini file. In the mac version it is supposed to be on ~/Library/Preferences/Feral Interactive/ (or some subfolder that might be hidden).

You should add a line to the [Engine.PlayerInput] part, like

Bindings=(Name="LeftControl",Command="Duck")

It could also be "Crouch", I can't test it right now.

Let me know if it works, as I have the PC version of the game.
