{{ii}} Always remember to back-up the original file for easy restoration.

# Open {{File|playercontroller.lua}}, found in {{File|data/scripts/components/}} in the [[#Game data location|game data location]], in your favourite text editor.
 +
# Find the key you want to change. Note that sometimes the key may be mentioned multiple times and you need to change every instance of it.
 +
# Make sure that the key you choose to use instead is not already used by some other action.
 +
# Replace every mention of the old key with the new key.

For example, to change the keys for turning (''Q'' and ''E'' to ''1'' and ''3''), one would replace {{File|KEY_Q}} and {{File|KEY_E}} on lines 30 and 31 with {{File|KEY_1}} and {{File|KEY_3}}.
