Okay, i feel really dumb for asking this, but, how do i unbind the controls?

[NastyFlytrap]

Hovering the cursor over the entry in the controls menu and pressing delete doesnt seem to work, neither does backspace, so im out of ideas

Either set it to its default, or set it to something you won't use.

Thats great but not exactly what im doing for.

 

Any half decent game has a button that literally removes the bind so its not attached to anything.

 

 

 

 

Setting it to something else isnt good enough, especially because most of my keys are already taken.

I guess I have no idea what you are talking about. Doesn't the "Reset Controls" button do exactly that?

[Thorfinn]

Oh, not sure I've ever wanted to do that in VS. I don't generally do a lot of remapping until a game gets close, because you have to keep re-doing it.

Worst case, go into clientsettings.json go into the key mapping section, and delete anything you want to go back to defaults. I mean, it is in alpha, right?

clicking on the control line item, allows a new key press to be taken as the action key. 

the question had me wondering what about 'no assignment', it seems the only 3 options. a (new) key press, or click default, or esc 

if i want to unassign (sort of like disabling the action from the keyboard input), not possible that i can see...

I'm impressed! What else do you have Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Keypad Multiply assigned to?

but you can do this... in the control settings you click the bind you want to remap delete and it turns into a questions mark. tada. just dont change it to anything. have I been doing this and I'm wrong that its bound to nothing? I've had no issues yet. 

If you dont change it to anything, and you left click to close the tab/menu, then it'll set left click as the choice. If you press escape it'll either set escape or revert back to whatever it was before you made it a question mark.
