1.) First you'll need to download the free and open-source software called AutoHotkey which can be found here -> https://www.autohotkey.com then install and run it.



_________________________________

2.) Right-click your desktop (or wherever you want to keep it) and go to New and click AutoHotkey Script.

Name it DDCoM WASD - Activate



_________________________________

3.) Then right-click that file and go to Open With and select Notepad



And paste these 4 lines in the script doc:

a::left
s::down
d::right
w::up



3b.) And now hit File then Save

_________________________________

4.) Next repeat the same steps in 2.) and 3.) but name it DDCoM WASD - Deactivate and this time paste the following in the script doc:

a::a
s::s
d::d
w::w



4b.) And now hit File then Save.

_________________________________

5.) Next, load the game on Steam then go to Help & Options then to Controls and change the action buttons to what you want them to be on your keyboard (something other than WASD).



_________________________________

6.) Exit Game completely.



_________________________________

7.) Then double-click the DDCoM WASD - Activate script.
_________________________________

8.) Launch the game on Steam again and try using WASD to move.
_________________________________

9.) You did it! Now the arrow keys are WASD!



_________________________________

10.) Once you're done playing, and closed the game, then double-click the DDCoM WASD - Deactivate script so your keys go back to normal.

Instead of double-clicking the Deactivate script you could also go to your taskbar and Suspend it or Exit it if you no longer want to use it. The Deactivate version is included in the steps in case you want something to quickly double-click when you need to.

While using the Activate version of the script you will not be able to type the keys WASD in any other program including messaging or chat. If you need to while in game, then you would have to double-click the Deactivate one, type what you want, and then Activate it back afterwards.

From what it seems, this is also usable with languages other than English if you translate the keys you paste into the script to what your default system language is for them. For example it's not guaranteed that the English script will work with a Korean system's keyboard unless you translate the script into Korean.

<If there is anyone who has an other-than-English system and keyboard willing to test this out, please let me know or just leave a comment for anyone who views this guide. Your name, along with the language you confirmed, will be added to this guide as thanks for the contribution.>
