Remapping Controls

So remapping the controls has been mentioned a few times in various threads, however I think its a good idea to have all the info here and not spread out.

For those who don't know, you can edit the games prefs.json file with Notepad. To quote Maerus from another thread:

"If you don't know where the prefs file is, if you go to your Users folder in your primary hard drive and then go into the administrator user folder it will be under AppData\Roaming\Terrible Toybox\Thimbleweed Park (You may need to show hidden files)"

Open the file with notepad and you can now add and edit what you need. For more options you can use, check out the following Post from Ron Gilbert himself:

To add a new option, copy and paste it into the file, don't worry too much about where you put it, it's not picky, Just make sure you save when done (and reboot your game if it was already running)

The most useful additions you can make (in regards to speed running) are:

rightClickSkipsDialog: 1 (Skips dialog with right mouse button, when used in combination with . key allows you to skip dialog very very fast)

keyOpen: "q" keyClose: "a" keyGiveTo: "z" keyPickup: "w" keyLookAt: "s" keyTalkTo: "x" keyPush: "e" keyPull: "d" keyUse: "c"

(Remaps the controls back to SCUMM era keyboard shortcuts; P is pick up and U is Use ETC. But this is a personal preference, you may be used to Thimbleweed Parks default controls)

keySelect1: "1" keySelect2: "2" keySelect3: "3" keySelect4: "4" keySelect5: "5"

(Besides Right skip dialog THIS is the most useful, it allows you to select dialog options with Keys 1 to 6 on keyboard. While still allowing you to use 1 to 5 to switch between characters when not in conversation trees)

That should be everything that matters, if I have forgot anything let me know.
