Never used AutoHotKey and not sure if I particularly want to install an
app to workaround stupid design decisions.

I'm _years_ past the days when I just *had* to play everything.

Bethesda can remove the moronic hard coded keys (for which there is no
need, reason or justification) or they don't make a sale. 

I don't care if it drops to $1, if I can't use MY key binds, I'm not
going to buy it.

This isn't the 1980s any more, there's no excuse not to have full key
customizability.

Funny how games managed to do it 20 years ago, but Bethesda can't manage
it now.
