Key Remapping

Fully remappable keys.[8]
^^ Statement is false. Several keyboard keys are "FORBIDDEN KEY", like Delete, or num_del, Insert keys. Also, Arrow keys, END, HOME, PGUP, PGDN, etc are displayed as "UNKNOWN KEY" then setting it again displays as NUMPAD keys. Not too bad, but UNKNOWN KEY can only be bound once. Arrows are functional still after this binding as NUM keys, but you cannot bind any NUMPAD keys as it is seen as already bound. "I" is hardbound to PAUSE, so that is also not "remappable". As an additional note, each time you set a key your entire page reverts to the very top so you need to scroll all the way back down again (using your w,s,UP,DWN keys that require constant pressing as holding does not scroll, and cannot use the mouse scrollwheel) to get back to the section you were configuring.
Key remapping menu is not held in the options menu, but in the inventory menu, accessible with the 'O' key.
