Stand Still/Shoot Button Has To Change

I got 3 fingers on QWER, using my middle, ring and index finger for QWER 1234, been doing this forever and shift has always been a pretty common bind for most games when it comes to sneaking, changing bars(Like in wow for example) or as a toggle for almost anything. I even bind stuff to Z just because for me that's not an issue at all to reach, even in stress situations (Had itemslot bound to Z in HoN for example)

Then every button should ofcourse be bindable because not everyone got the same sized hands.

The Shift button for SSB is not in a comfortable posistion for anyone who plays any class.
That's just not true. I play with my fingers on homerow like I do in every game, regardless of the keybinds. The reason is I'm so familiar with where keys are on a keyboard, I would have to relearn key placement for each game if I changed my positioning. I suppose years of typing have a lot of influence on this.

Should they be map-able? Sure, so should mouse buttons. Is it a major priority for the devs? Probably not.

First in the credits!
I think that the stand-still button should be a key that can be customized. I have remapped the whole set up so that asdfg are my 5 skills and qwert are my 5 potions, since that is the most natural positioning for me. Pressing shift is not that difficult, but coming from other games where I have assigned space key to stand-still, it is quite frustrating to have change my habits. It is also difficult for me to spam potion in dire situation without my pinkie finger.
I don't know WHY people are arguing against this at all. How would adding the option to change the keybinding to anything be bad in anyway.

If anything they should make everything re-bindable.
They just need to make it and option to change in the Keybinds. That way everyone has their perferred position.

I would hate to have it any other place than shift as deafualt as my pinky sits there in its natural hand position. I would say that the majorty of people are fine with shift as the stand still key. There is a reason it is default movement modifier in these and FPS games. It is just easy to hit and makes sense in most peoples brains. I SHIFT my movement style. :)
Sure agree with being able to map everything out differently.

But seriously claiming shift is the wrong place for your pinky? when typing don't you use your pinky for shift to capitalize a letter?

But this is pretty standard position for gaming like was stated earlier.

LOL WRONG PLACE GAIS!!!!
I've had no issues reaching the shift key while pressing 1-5
I thought about making this same topic. I am an advocate of allowing us to map the stand still on our own.

I play with QWERT for skills and 12345 for potions. I play mostly ranger and so my left pinky stays on SHIFT, and I cannot comfortably use SHIFT and Q at the same time (unless I move my left ring finger to Q which messes with the all important gamer muscle memory). Thus, I feel as if I only have access to 4 action binds (besides mouse buttons) since my pinky is forced to stay on SHIFT.

Meanwhile, my thumb is like a government worker just idling and watching everybody else do the work when he could instead be hitting SPACEBAR to stand still while the left pinky was firing off burning arrows with Q.
