This article is part of the Extended Second Life Knowledge Base that includes advanced and specialized information. This information was originally provided by Linden Lab, but is not actively maintained nor guaranteed to be accurate. Linden Lab does not certify nor assume any responsibility for this information.

Warning: Warning: Changing Second Life's initialization files can result in unexpected behavior or loss of functionality in Second Life. Proceed at your own risk; Linden Lab will not support issues that arise as a result of altered program files. It is always wise to save a backup copy of any program file before making edits.

If you are using a non-QWERTY keyboard setup, some of Second Life's controls may seem confusing or inconvenient. In these extreme cases, you may rebind Second Life's keyboard controls by editing the keys.ini file. For more information, see "Keyboard Mapping" on the Second Life Wiki.

-If you are using a non-QWERTY keyboard setup, some of Second Life's controls may seem confusing or inconvenient.  In these extreme cases, you may rebind Second Life's keyboard controls by editing the keys.ini file:
-#Navigate to '''<Second Life install directory>\app_settings''' (Second Life installs to C:\Program Files\Second Life by default on Windows systems)
-#Make a backup copy of '''keys.ini'''.  If something goes terribly wrong with your edits, you will need to restore the original configuration.
-#Open '''keys.ini''' in a text editor, like Notepad
-#Read the primer at the beginning of the file; it will help you understand how to make your edits
-#When you feel comfortable with the format of the file, edit the second column to change key bindings.  Keep in mind that you will need to change the same control for each mode (FIRST_PERSON, THIRD_PERSON, etc) for the binding to be fully effective.
-#Save and close '''keys.ini'''.
-#Restart Second Life, and test your new controls!
-'''Remember:''' if your controls don't turn out the way you wanted them, you can restore Second Life's original keyboard configuration by restoring your backup of '''keys.ini'''.
