I really like this game, but [couldn't] get a handle of the [default] control scheme.  I have to stop playing in the 2nd story.

I don't know how the game expands later, but having 1 and Q as the primary buttons constantly throws me off. 
I think it would make a big difference if 1 was changed to 4 and q was changed to r. The rest of the buttons would descent going leftward from there. 
I think your FAQ post said this wasn't possible or you aren't working on it any longer, which is a real shame.
I'd love to keep playing the game but I can't keep up with the controls as they are right now. 

EDIT: BigHandInSky graciously pointed out that there is an alternate control scheme available in the menu under Gameplay. (The menu is just a bit tricky.).
The alternate scheme looks interesting and I'm going to try it out. 

Thank you BigHandInSky for replying to my post!   

Hey! If you look in the settings menu, I have provided an alternate control scheme, have you tried that? (It's been so long that I can't even say what it does, but there is a toggle to change what keys go to what character)

And yes, sadly my efforts are going elsewhere and I'm only going to check-in on this game for major bugs. It is on my wishlist to revisit this & Day of Maintenance to add rebindable controls, but there's a lot of tech I need to write to support it (& then QA)

I had looked at the Settings, but didn't notice that. Thank you for pointing it out!

The settings menu is a bit confusing.

I'll try it out and see how it goes!
