Any way to rebind the keys in FFR?

[Isobar]

In Step, there is an obvious way to do it, any way to rebind the keys in FFR so that I can use DFGH for my keys instead of the arrows? Thanks!

Regrettably, no. Since it sounds like you play 4 fingers on 2 hands, here's how I do it:

Left middle on left arrow
Left index on down arrow
Right index on up arrow
Right middle on right arrow

It may feel weird at first, but it just felt natural to me from Day 1. This style has the benefit of maximizing your speed, after which the accuracy will come with practice.

Good luck!

hmm ok, thanks. that wasy doesn't seem to work well for me, I have been playing one handed, and got to the point where I can beat Flight of the Bumblebee, but I can't do it consistantly, and I noticed how easy of a pattern is in the song, and using 2 hands would be really easy for it.

You can also use the numpad or any combination of the arrows and numpad.

One of the most popular two-handed combinations is < V 8 6. I use it, along with many others. Try it out.

Don't give up so quickly. I remapped my keys similar to how you want yours - I use DFJK. There are likely many ways to do this. I use an AutoHotkey script. You can download AutoHotkey here:

Here's the script I use:

*j::Send, {UP}
*f::Send, {DOWN}
*d::Send, {LEFT}
*k::Send, {RIGHT}

Once it's running, you can enable/disable it as you wish with an icon in the taskbar.

I'd be interested to hear how effective this is on various computers. I've never heard of anyone else doing it. Though I can't detect a delay, I've always wondered if there was one. Even so, it's the only way I can play FFR decently on this laptop, as some arrow keys conflict when pressed together.
