Rebinding
You can not play this game because you don't own a QWERTY keyboard?
There is always a solution or two.

Switching your keyboard to QWERTY
Change your keyboard language to english using ALT+SHIFT shortcut.
It will keep same key binding but you will able to move normally.

Rebinding Keys
Rebind your keys. Also works for QWERTY users wanting to change keys:

1.Rebind moving keys
  • Go to your steam folder and find Daylight config folder *\Steam\SteamApps\common\Daylight\Engine\Config
  • Open the file BaseInput.ini with your notepad.
  • You have to change binding of lines 7 to 15 (exemple for azerty users)
    LimaForward=Z
    LimaBack=S
    LimaStrafeLeft=Q
    LimaStrafeRight=D
    LimaSprint=LeftShift
    LimaPickup=E
    LimaOpen=LeftMouse
    LimaCell=TAB
    LimaCellSelect=Space
  • Change line 70 and 76 as well:
    70
    +AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveForward", Key=Z, Scale=1.f)
    76
    +AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveRight", Key=Q, Scale=-1.f)
  • Save the file.
2.Rebind action keys
  • Go to your steam folder and find Daylight config folder *\Steam\SteamApps\common\Daylight\LimaGame\Config
  • Open the file DefaultInput.ini with your notepad.
  • Change lines 4 to 22 (bold ones are those you want to change) and change the key after the Key=
    ;+ActionMappings=(ActionName="ExitNoteBrowser", Key=V)
    ;+ActionMappings=(ActionName="IncNoteBrowser", Key=N)
    ;+ActionMappings=(ActionName="DecNoteBrowser", Key=B)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="StartFire", Key=LeftMouseButton)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="Drop", Key=RightMouseButton)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="TakeScreenShot", Key=F)
    ;+ActionMappings=(ActionName="CycleInventoryDown", Key=MouseScrollDown)
    ;+ActionMappings=(ActionName="CycleInventoryUp", Key=MouseScrollUp)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="ZoomOutMiniMap", Key=MouseScrollDown)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="ZoomInMiniMap", Key=MouseScrollUp)
    ;+ActionMappings=(ActionName="UseSelectedItemInInventory", Key=LeftMouseButton)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleInGameMenu", Key=Escape)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="PullOutGlowStick", Key=One)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="PullOutFlare", Key=Two)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="ThrowItem", Key=E)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="Sprinting", Key=LeftShift)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="ClimbAction", Key=Spacebar)
    +ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleMiniMap", Key=M)
    ;+ActionMappings=(ActionName="CreeperSpawn", Key=C)
  • Save the file.
  • Enjoy the game.
Cheers

Updated the guide, You have to change 2 files to rebind all keys. One for the player moves and one for the action keys.

I apologise for the inconvenient

I posted again because I could not manage to set the key bindings properly.. :-(

My left and right arrow keys did not change. The same happened with my 'run' key: (could not bind it to NumPad Zero)..

Accept my friend invitation, I'll try to help you.

Hey, bwz, I had no time to follow your instructions in the last weeks (a lot to do at work!). I did it last night, and I still have a minor doubt:

Following your procedures, I managed to set the UP and DOWN arrow keys as 'foward' and 'back', but I was unable to set the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to 'strafe left' and strafe right'.

In addition, I could not manage to set the NumPad Zero as my "run' function.

Can you help me with these binds, please?

Sorry bother you with this (I'm kind a noob), thanks in advance!

thanks

That's actually the first advice i gave in the guide (it is alt+shift by the way). But if you did uninstal qwerty keyboard or want a permanent change, or custom binding, this is the solution.

Or you could just press Shit+Tab to switch to Qwerty keyboard no?

Glad I could help. Have fun!

You're the best, man, thanks a lot. I almost gave up and delete this game from my portfolio.

You have my gratitude,

Hi,
Left for left arrow
Right for right arrow
Up for up arrow
Down for down arrow
NumPadZero for 0
RightControl for right ctrl
RightShift for right shift

So for you it should be
LimaForward=Up
LimaBack=Down
LimaStrafeLeft=Left
LimaStrafeRight=Right
LimaSprint=NumPadZero
LimaPickup=E
LimaOpen=LeftMouse
LimaCell=TAB
LimaCellSelect=RightControl

and

+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveRight", Key=Left, Scale=-1.f)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveRight", Key=Right, Scale=1.f)

and

+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveUp", Key=RightControl, Scale=1.f)

Not sure about everything but it should work.
I dont think you can crouch in this game. There isn't a real jump either, but you can jump above boxes at some point. You should also remap pickup button currently set to E

Cheers
