... that would help would be if holding down shift made you walk at half speed. It's pretty common in a lot of 3rd/1st person games to get around a keyboard's inherent lack of velocity sensitivity. Accurate placement and picking up alien artifacts can be tricky too. I rebound picking up items to ...

... the car less of an unstoppable death machine. Alternatively, have it possible to switch driving modes. This enables players to choose to have keyboard control when fighting, where people normally want to steer violently, and mouse controls when driving significant distances, where precision ...

... could obsolete reciepes we don't want/need anymore. In detail, in the crafting gui we may get the option to obsolete reciepes by a special mouse/keyboard combination which will simply hide them in the gui. On the lower right corner of the gui there will be a checker named "show/hide obsolete" ...

... many methods to move items from you inventory into a stack and from the stack into another inventory (combinations of CTRL, SHIFT etc. see the keyboard mapping options), you can really fast split items in that way to equally distribute them. - You can put items into your quick bar too, if you ...

Ok, let's say it like so: I would admit to have many more functions, if there is a screen or window I can blend in to see a (quite schematic) keyboard with all the shortcuts on it. When I press LMB in this screen, then it shows all the bounded functions to LMB plus all the possible modifier keys ...

... with other signals I can create any signal I want. An AND-gate is just one of the most simple things. In Reason I can of course plug in many MIDI-keyboards, it also can use the computer keyboard to play music. That are the red and green wires (and logistic network) as input-sources. I can output ...

I have to add some ideas to this.

R - rotates item, shift+R rotates item in opposite direction

In vehicle - you drive normally -> shift + movement will get 1/3 of turning speed so you can do precise maneuvers when navigating long curves.

I think mainly to secondary (tertiary) keys. I remember that from Battlefield, that for every action I could define two controls. Also - very cool - was the joystick-support, which could be linked to some specialized actions. Many, many games offer alternate keybind support. I was actually surprise...

... it makes the game like having 6 mouse buttons. But actually I play Factorio with a graphic tablet which is reat appart from having to use the keyboard to move and access some features.

Factorio has really configurable controls, I think they are not sufficiently configurable because we can't play the game entirely with the keyboard or with Mouse / Touchscreen. This topic doesn't treat already changeable controls. Here the main common problem I've found : Mouse / Touchscreen ...

This has changed with v0.9: you now need to place it first. Then click shift on a pole to remove all wires. See keyboard-settings! Now you can drag wires to that pole yourself.

... on it (and the emulation isn't handled in Factorio, or I'm too stupid to get that managed). A list (4-6) of default key bindings for different keyboards, OS etc. would be my wish. For different keyboard layouts there is a better solution. Use scancodes instead of keycodes (for the programming) ...

... exact numbers for some things. Another possibility would be to enter some mode where you could additionally simply type the desired amount on your keyboard. That would be even better, but i guess the other system would be a lot easier to integrate into the game right now. What do you think?

I know but still it would be good to just click the tool belt shortcut item again.

I love most of the ideas, but the last one is actually wrong...ish. You can press Q to "dismiss" any item you're currently holding.
