In the pre-alpha, IGP comes with some Unreal default hotkey setup.

This document will explain how to set up, modify, and use a new hotkey setup.

***Copy the above content and save the file as `Input.ini`.***

# Understand the Input.ini

You can notice a single line of this file can be broken down like this.

`ActionMappings=(ActionName="AttackMove",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=A)`

- `ActionMappings=(***)`: Indicates content is an action mapping. i.e. a hotkey
- `ActionName="AttackMove"`: Indicates the name of the selected action. Here, we are using the `AttackMove` move action,
  that forces your selected army to attack.
- `Key=A`: Indicates key being mapped to the action. Set to `Key=Tab` to require the Tab key to be pressed instead, to
  perform the `AttackMove` action.
    - `bShift=False`: Indicates that the Shift key is not held. Set to `bShift=True` to require a shift key held to
      perform the mapped action.
    - `bCtrl=False`: Indicates that the Ctrl key is not held. Set to `bCtrl=True` to require a ctrl key held to perform
      the mapped action.
    - `bAlt=False`: Indicates that the Alt key is not held. Set to `bAlt=True` to require a alt key held to perform the
      mapped action.
    - `bCmd=False`: Indicates that the Cmd key is not held. Set to `bCmd=True` to require a cmd key held to perform the
      mapped action. (Macs not supported by IGP)

# Modify the Input.ini file

You are now going to want to modify the file with your own hotkey setup.

To do this, replace any of the Key=`VALUE` mapped to the desired actions with any value from the list below.

*For example, you can swap the Z Key value in SelectUnitProductionBuildings to C. Which would look like
this:
`ActionMappings=(ActionName="SelectUnitProductionBuildings",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=C)`*

# Transfer the Input.ini file

Drag and drop this new `Input.ini` file into `WindowsClient` folder in IGP. This folder can be found
under `C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Programs\CURRENT_IMMORTAL_CLIENT\Immortal\Saved\Config\WindowsClient\`. Remember
to use proper values for `YOUR_USER` and `CURRENT_IMMORTAL_CLIENT`.

There will be a blank `Input.ini` file in this folder. You can safely override it with your modified file.

# Testing

Restart the IGP client, and try out your new hotkey setup!

# Trouble Shooting

If running into trouble, ask for help in the `hotkeys` channel in the IGP Discord.
