pcsuper-meat-boy

I've recently started playing Super Meat Boy on the PC, but I find that the default control scheme to be rather lacking. I would much prefer to use something other than space for jumping.

Is there anyway for my change the control scheme of Super Meat Boy?

It is possible to edit the control mapping, although not in-game. In order to do this you need to edit the file buttonmap.cfg. If the game is installed on Steam, it should be located under:

Program File > Steam > steamapps > common > super meat boy >buttonmap.cfg

The file will look like this:

keyboard
{
    up="up";
    down="down";
    left="left";
    right="right";
    jump="space";
    special="shift";
}

gamepad
{
    jump="1";
    special="3";
    useanalog="true";
}

Simply edit the corresponding line to change the key bindings. For example: 

keyboard
{
    up="up";
    down="down";
    left="left";
    right="right";
    jump="z";
    special="x";
}

gamepad
{
    jump="1";
    special="3";
    useanalog="true";
}
