Now scroll down near the bottom to the section labeled "gridkeys". Once that is done scroll down to the section that has the camera controls near the top and type in WASD in the corresponding areas between the empty quotes. I chose to replace them with two quotation marks to avoid any unnecessary double mapping. Yes those are two quotation marks with nothing in the middle. In order to not replace just the letters and only the keys as intended, all the things typed into the fields will have to be enclosed in quotes. All the keybindings are one letter in capital letters enclosed by quotation marks (e.g. The next thing to do is open find/replace using ctrl+H. Open it with Wordpad and you'll see some helpful introductory instructions and a list of commands and the keys that are bound to them. For Retribution, it's under a different folder in My Games, but the process is identical. If you're on Windows (I have no idea what it is on anything else), go to My Documents/My Games/Dawn of War II/Settings and find _a. This isn't for anyone who wants hotkeys for more and this isn't for multiplayer.įirst of all start the game, go to the main settings menu and turn on gridkeys.

This only works if you only care about WASD camera movement and hotkeys around WASD to use abilities. Well here's the results and I'm really happy with them. So I got fed up at the start of Retribution and decided to see if there was anything I could do. Then playing on Last Stand, I found using hotkeys to be useful for hero abilities, which is also important in single-player. I played the original and Chaos Rising using the arrow keys for the camera and enjoying it just fine. I hate using the mouse to move the camera and the game's menus don't allow you to remap keys. One of the most annoying things about one of my favorite franchises, Dawn of War II, has been its camera controls.
