Overview
A super quick guide on how to rebind keyboard keys.
Editing GD.lst
Use notepad to open GD.lst in your game’s root folder ([Steam Folder]SteamAppscommonYatagarasu)
Scroll down to the [KEYBOARDCONFIG0] line, and edit this with your preferred keys. Be sure to edit [KEYBOARDCONFIG1] to avoid overlaps that would cause any issues in training mode, as well.
By default, this is
[KEYBOARDCONFIG0],VK_LEFT,VK_UP,VK_RIGHT,VK_DOWN,*,*,*,*,Z,X,C,A,S,D,Q,E,*,1
[KEYBOARDCONFIG1],VK_NUMPAD4,VK_NUMPAD8,VK_NUMPAD6,VK_NUMPAD2,VK_NUMPAD1,VK_NUMPAD7,VK_NUMPAD9,VK_NUMPAD3,V,B,N,F,G,H,R,Y,*,4
- VK_LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN are your directions
- The next four asterisks are unmapped and unnecessary, but those would be your diagonals.
- ASD are LP, HP, and HBL
- ZXC are LK, HK, and LBL
- 1 is the start button
- Q seems to be training mode dummy playback, E doesn’t seem to do anything.
As an example, mine are changed to this:
[KEYBOARDCONFIG0],A,W,D,S,*,*,*,*,VK_NUMPAD1,VK_NUMPAD2,VK_NUMPAD3,VK_NUMPAD4,VK_NUMPAD5,VK_NUMPAD6,Z,X,*,1
[KEYBOARDCONFIG1],VK_LEFT,VK_UP,VK_RIGHT,VK_DOWN,*,*,*,*,U,I,O,J,K,L,N,M,*,4
- AWDS are left, up, right, down.
- The next four asterisks are unmapped and unnecessary, but those would be your diagonals.
- Numpad 456 areLP, HP, and HBL
- Numpad 123 are LK, HK, and LBL
- 1 is my start button
- Z is dummy recording playback, E is unknown.
Once finished, save and overwrite the file.
Then, make sure to copy it over to the game’s AppData folder in C:Users[USER]AppDataRoamingPDWHOTAPENyatagarasuAC_ver20150630 (You can also get there by pressing your Windows Key+R and entering %AppData% in the Run dialog box).
NOTE: Q and E change your input delay settings while online and in character select. This cannot be rebinded.
For non-letter/non-number keys, refer to their titles here[www.kbdedit.com], but keep in mind that many keys (such as spacebar) don’t work.
Using unsupported keys
Of course, keyboard players very often use the Hitbox layout, where space is up/jump.
GD.lst doesn’t seem to accept space as a valid input, so I set up a simple AutoHotkey[www.autohotkey.com] script to recognize my spacebar as the W key while Yatagarasu’s window is active.
#IfWinActive ahk_class GD
Space::W
For lazy and trusting folks, I compiled my script as an exe, so you can just download and run this: [link]
Note: Some games have anticheats that flag AutoHotkey as a hack, so be sure to close this when you’re done playing!
