Ctrl+1 not functional in Age of Empires titles

Hi Jeffrey P_ ,



Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

I hope you're doing well today.

I truly understand that you are having an issue with the Ctrl +1 keys is not working in Ages of Empire Titles.



Here are the following that could possibly fix the issue.

1. Create a new control profile in AOE4. If anything goes wrong, you can delete this profile again.
   
2. Make your desired changes and save.
   
3. Note down hotkeys that are locked or involve multiple keys like “control+shift”.
   
4. Close the game.
   
5. Navigate to “documents\My Games\Age of Empires IV\keyBindingProfiles”.
   
6. Open the .rkp file using the Windows Editor or Notepad++.
   
7. Find the hotkeys you want to edit, change them to your likings
   
8. Save
   
9. Start Age Of Empires IV and make sure your control profile is selected.
   

If you want to edit the hotkeys again, repeat step 4 - 9.



When combining keys, leave no space.

Repeat Count seems to indicate the amount of times you have to press something, but you can’t imitate control group behavior (1x select, 2x jump to) since control groups have two interactions: one for selection, one for focus. I therefore suggest to leave them like they are.



We look forward to your response. If you have other clarifications about this matter, you can get back to us by replying to this post.



Sincerely,

Fatima
