Summary0019179: Modifying hotkeys in KDL_InputActions.xml doesn't seem to work
DescriptionI tried changing the hotkey for pause thusly:
  <input_action name="TogglePause"
              display_name="Pause"
              description="~*~"
              dll_name="AIWarExternalCode"
              type_name="Arcen.AIW2.External.Input_MainHandler"
              default_key="L" <=== This was "P" before
  >

Then I closed and reopened the game. However, the change doesn't seem to do anything. "P" still works for pause, and L doesn't do anything. Am I missing something?

Yep -- you're modifying the defaults, not your personal keybindings. Your personal keybindings are in the PlayerData folder, and since those are already populated that means that changing the defaults does nothing (by design). If you delete your personal settings, then the defaults would properly apply.

Most games don't let you adjust the defaults like this, hence the confusion. but if you're just looking for personal keybindings to be the way you want, you should edit the stuff in PlayerData and not mod the defaults of the game in order to get what you want.
