Manual Control Assignment via chimeraUserInput.conf

Question

Currently the state of the Settings > Controls UI prevents reassignment of keys for those of us who cannot play using the default WASD based layout.  I have managed to reassign a few control binds so far by sheer persistence, when the UI has worked briefly on some occasions after launching Reforger.  The last few attempts have resulted in no further key assignments as the dialog fails to appear when a listed control is selected.

 

There is, however, a potential workaround, if the required information is made available for it to be usable. The changes I have managed to make have been recorded in (for Windows 10)  [user]\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile\chimeraUserInput.conf. 

 

Unfortunately only the changes are recorded in the file, not the entire control set and neither have I managed to track down any reference to the control definitions used in this configuration file,  which appear to be formatted thus:

ActionManager {
 Actions {
  Action CharacterForward {
   InputSource InputSourceSum "{59F149755A229279}" {
    Sources {
     InputSourceValue "{59F149755A2292E5}" {
      FilterPreset "primary:forward"
      Input "keyboard:KC_O"
     }
     InputSourceValue "{59F1497558C12CD4}" {
      FilterPreset "primary:back"
      Input "keyboard:KC_L"
     }
    }
   }
  }
  Action CharacterRight {
   InputSource InputSourceSum "{59F149755981B3FD}" {
    Sources {
     InputSourceValue "{59F149755981B3B0}" {
      FilterPreset "primary:left"
      Input "keyboard:KC_K"
     }
     InputSourceValue "{59F149755687CCD6}" {
      FilterPreset "primary:right"
      Input "keyboard:KC_SEMICOLON"
     }
    }
   }
  }
  Action CharacterStanceAnalog {
   InputSource InputSourceSum "{59F14974A5ED19E2}" {
    Sources {
     InputSourceValue "{59F14974A5ED199C}" {
      FilterPreset "primary:axis"
      Input "keyboard:KC_RSHIFT"
     }
    }
   }
  }
  Action CharacterSprintToggle {
   InputSource InputSourceSum "{59F14974B6FBF6A9}" {
    Sources {
     InputSourceValue "{59F14974B6FBF17D}" {
      FilterPreset "primary:click"
      Input "keyboard:KC_APOSTROPHE"
     }
    }
   }
  }
 }
}

 

From the sample above the format seems more complex than a simple one control - one key list, particularly with the two sets of directional controls, which appear to be paired.

 

Is there a complete list of control assignments or documentation on how to format them available?

 

Otherwise until the control settings function correctly, I've invested in little more than a menu page test.
