I've always used the 'F' key as roll right in space flight games and 'CTRL' as thrust down. Used in conjunction, these keys do nothing because they're hardcoded to a vestigial function. This is honestly game-breaking for me because I'd have to unlearn my muscle memory from every other space flight sim and relearn a new basic flight control scheme for ED. Others have complained about this. Please, please fix this.
Please remove the now-defunct CTRL+F hardcoded binding.

But how is it a vestigial function? It's a basic feature of their engine. That said, I agree that the engine functions should be bindable or at least configurable via a .cfg.
I could say the same about P being hardcoded to Pause. That one caught me out when I was figuring out where to put all my ody binds.
I am curious, what are you using as roll left?
and yes, having hardcoded behind the scenes keybinds is bad...
Same goes for me and CTRL-B since B is my shield bank key and I can't quickly toggle the bandwidth display without banking unless I go to the menu first.
'Q' is my roll left. I use an FPS style of keybind setup with WASD as directional thrust, Q/F as roll, and CTRL and SPACE as up/down thrust.
I wasn't aware it even worked anymore, but it's redundant in the Steam version since Steam has its own FPS overlay.
Not everyone uses steam. Or even the nVidia overlay that's been around even longer.
I didn't say they did.
That's the one that comes up for me.
Having P, Ctrl-B and Ctrl-F able to be reassigned (rather than hardcoded as the OP says) but still defaulting to their current assignment would be a good QoL change.
Why not Q/E ?
I started gaming with old school first person shooters and got used to the 'E' button for interact/use. Then I started swapping 'E' for 'F' in all other shooters and space flight sims for lean/roll and have been using that control scheme all my life.
I too struggle with this issue! Is it a new thing?
I use crtl for throttle down and f for descending

They've been in the game as long as I've had it (2015).
oh waw, then i just never noticed xD
That would improve stuff
