[Tuto]How to change horse movement Keybinds

Hey everyone,

The keybinding issue for horse movement is quite troublesome, especially for AZERTY keyboard users like me. But fear not, there’s a (non user-friendly) solution for that.

To edit those keybinds, you’ll have to look for the DefaultInput.ini file in steamapps/common/Conan Exiles/ConanSandBox/Config

Open DefaultInput.ini in any text editor and find the following lines :

Move forward (line 428 and 468)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName=“MountMoveForwardBackward”,Key=W,Scale=1.000000)

Move right (line 430 and 470)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName=“MountMoveLeftRight”,Key=E,Scale=1.000000)

Move left (line 431 and 471)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName=“MountMoveLeftRight”,Key=Q,Scale=-1.000000)

Move backward (line 436 and 476)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName=“MountMoveForwardBackward”,Key=S,Scale=-1.000000)

You’ll have to change the “Key” parameter to the key you want to bind.
For some obscure reasons all those lines are in double, so you’ll have to edit both.

From this file you can also edit a whole lot of other keybinds that are not customisable in the game UI, but if you want to experiment with it, you better save a clean version first in case something goes wrong.

Happy riding everyone :wink:

Thanks! The “E” to mount gets me so much because I want to look at the inventory like any other thrall/pet which you push E for and then you start the slow process of mounting the horse.

Sadly i don’t think this is something you can change via editing the input files, this action is directly linked to the “Interact” function

Look like that issue was fixed in the last update. Still editing this file can be useful for a lot of other things :slight_smile:

Yes, I keep doing the same thing. Would definitely prefer to mount via the radial menu, and access inventory via E/Interact.

You can mount via the radial menu on PS4. But using square to mount and triangle to dismount is easier and quicker.
