I know, I am probably the only one that has this problem, for I am the only gamer who is a lefty and proud of it ( or am I not ??? ) or this issue is already covert extensively elsewhere but I did not find it because I looked on the wrong places. So I will mention my little problem with the game here in the hope there will be a solution to it somewhere in the future.

Because I have a incurable problem by some peoples standard and that is, as mentioned above, I am a lefty, so gaming whit the default action-key setting is simply not an option, but mirroring them to the other side of the keyboard works in game just fine, but when I want to craft something or go in to the menus for something else those darn key's stay remapped (just as I want them to) but in the text and the soft button's their old names are displayed.

for example I use O for activate and I for sheathe/ready in the crafting menu the E and R are displayed but the I and O do the function,
same whit F and K, where it took me some time to figure this one out, for F is the camera key and in the menu there was the F key to do something, and I did not realize that by remapping the camera function key, this also remapped his other (menu)functions it controlled (stupid me) .

So is it a problem enough to call it a bug that has to be fixed or is there already a fix out there ?

And I hope the fix is so that: the key's stay remapped in the menus and only the displayed text is changed to the remapped key's

O yes, in game the displayed key names often show correctly.

I hope so that there will be enough support for my problem (and I don't mean my left hand thing, but the key name thing) so Bethesda or a modder takes it on, and resolve it.

Yes it is a problem with the game, custom key maps don't display correctly. Here is the fix

@BlgBadDaddy thanx, it is a fix for now, but I wonder if it would be possible to do it the other way around, and that is change the text displayed, and not make both keys do the same thing as the text in the mod suggested, this is my first reaction, I have to say that I did not try it out yet, but I will, and when I do I will let it know here, if it fixes my problem enough or I have to wait on a better solution.

but thanx again for your speedy reaction and solution for now.

I have tried it out and yes it helps (a lot). But my initial wish still stands, I hope for someone to make the text or icon change to the remapped key. but for now I am helped with this mod.
