I would like to rebind Highlight Interactables to "left alt" key but when I change the key it stops working in-game.

I can bind it to any other key and it works just fine but not with left alt...

I am used to have this function on left alt key from Diablo and other ARPG games, please fix this.

Thanks

Weird.. this function works for me just fine.

What's your set-up ?

Same issue here, really annoying I must say.

 

Version: 1.0.2.0508 -steam, OS: Windows 7 64-bit

 

EDIT:

I found the work-around until it's fixed.

 

1. Download and install AutoHotkey http://www.autohotkey.com/

2. Create a script and paste into this trivial code:

LAlt::
send, {n down}
Return
 
LAlt UP::
send, {n up}
Return

3. Hook up highlight in the game controls to 'n'

4. Enjoy hold-highlighting with left alt

 

Issue: You cannot use leftalt so to e.g. alt-tab while running the script you need to use right alt.

 

Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee 100% that it doesn't violate EULA, that it doesn't trigger some 3rd party detection software etc.; it would be ridiculous but just in case: use it at your own risk.

I have the same problem, I wish I could set left alt for highlighting items but it doesn't work. 

I'm also having this problem. I'm just so used to alt for item highlighting, and tab seemed like more of a toggle, so I want to swap them, but it's bugged.

Apparently, POE does not like modifier keys being hijacked (tools like autohotkey). For CRPGs, I have AHK files for different games like baldurs gate, DAO, icewinddale etc but they dont work with POE properly.

Yeah I tried setting it to L Shift and it wouldn't even see it as an input.

Yeah, the function works on TAB but if you change it to Left Alt, it does not work, it's simple as that.

But it does for him (we talked), it's the problem that happens only on some machines, likely why they didn't catch it before the release.

Did you try the code I posted? It works flawlessly for me.

 

Unfortunately I have the same rebinding Problem. Thanks a lot for this solution! It works perfectly.

 

Now nothing stops me from enjoying this fantastic game!

I did not test it, I use alt+tab a lot during play and using right alt for it is just as bad as the bug itself...

I have to hope they fix it.

Same here, and same reason the proposed solution won't work for me. Here's hoping it gets ironed out.
