Make spacebar work as "enter" in menus

When playing, I always use wasd to move around, and conviently, w/up in that mode can open menus when talking to pigs etc. What I want is for spacebar to work as enter, so I can use that to select "feed" etc.

I personally have an issue with my right hand; it's got a little carpal tunnel action going on that my left hand doesn't. While I don't mind typing as much, just sitting there to hit enter all the time starts to really really agrivate it. So if I could instead hit the spacebar with my left hand which is already over wasd, that'd be a huge pain savings for me :)

  • That may be an issue when moving around and jumping inside highly populated streets
    Would be hard to jump if any animal, tree or whatever is nearby
    Best way to avoid carpal tunnel would be to use a single key instead of two

  • I only meant for spacebar to work as enter while a menu is open, since up/d can open the menu. That way, spacebar would continue to work as jump normally when moving around, but when a menu is open, it would act as "enter" (or rather, select item). It actually feels rather natural to me that way, I sometimes find myself hitting spacebar anyways due to the way my hand is positioned.

    it seems that the single key wouldn't work very well since pigs / chickens / people tend to walk on top of each other repeatedly frequently, so which one are you targeting when you do the single key operation?

  • Well in your in case of pigs / chickens / people ,
    people don't have any direct keys shortcut so it won't be a problem
    and you would use [q] to squeeze the chicken or [t]/[n] to pet or nibble the pig, so nothing conflicts here ;)

    I understand your spacebar thing now
    It would also be a good option indeed
