@Grimm the WASD controls are preset to work with makecode, so you don’t have to make custom keybinds. For full control of the whole keyboard, I believe that there is a Github repo that someone on this forum has made for this purpose. If you know this extension or you made it, just post it on this chat. ---

uhh idk if you can rebind the keys outside of the game (like while it’s being run), when I say there’s an extension for full control of the keyboard, it only affects what happens while your game is running, such as controls or functions. ---

That extention is used to emulate keys on a keyyboard, so if you connected a meowbit programmed with that extention, it could be used as a keyboard. ---
