Project settings action mappings can't use Shift only

Shift, Alt and Ctrl are frequently used on their own in games to sprint, crouch etc., but currently this does not work with the action bindings. I’m using “Left Shift” node in blueprint for now but ultimately I’d want to set this up in the project settings like all my other keys to get the flexibility of that system.

Hi ,

Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce this issue. I have created an Input Action with Left Shift and Right Shift as the keybindings. When I connect my “AnyShift” Input Action to a print string in my character, I am able to activate the print via either shift key. Could you please give me some more details about how you have your Action Mappings and BP set up? Any additional information may help.

Thanks,

Oh god, user error. I was setting the action mapping to “None” and then used the Shift checkbox. Problem solved, sorry to waste your time :slight_smile:
