On the project action mappings (and trying to bind directly on the blue print), there is only an option to bind to NUM - (which is the square number pad minus), there doesn’t seem to be an options to bind to the - next to the delete key
I’ve tested it, by binding to NUM -, and it works only for the minus on the numerical pad, not the one next to delete
I don’t know about you, but I always use these for zooming out (or mouse scroll … but I’m currently using a touch pad), + and - are user friendly additional options to zoom in and out for most games
I have had a search around, and only found people with the same problem as me, but no solutions:
So, what am I missing, other than brains?
- ps, the moderation on this forum is a bit crazy, when does it stop? Thankfully the product is amazing, so worth the wait for answers
I guess the keys I want to bind to are really
- and =
(or with shift _ and +) … I’m on a uk keyboard
but either way I cant find a way of binding to - (or with shift _)
Are you using a mac or so? Because on a normal keyboard there is no minus next to delete…

PC, but not that delete, its also called backspace
you have a string of numbers at the top of querty, then the last three are - = [delete/backspace]
after a bit of trial and error, I found the key event for the minus key, it’s called hyphen … if that helps anyone in the future (should have guessed really, dow!)

Well just as a tip - if you have problems with some key you can easily make a function to display the (UE4) value for it. In some blueprint add an override “on key down event”, pipe that to a “key get display name” and that to a “Print string”. That way you can type any (valid for UE4) key and see what UE4 labels that key.
