Portal – Look Up and Look Down commands are not working

pcportal

I am attempting to control the camera with the arrow keys in Portal 1. I bound the arrow keys to the 'Turn Left and Right' and 'Look up and down' commands in Settings, but when I tried to play, I could only turn left and right, looking up and down didn't work. I tried rebinding the keys, using the developer's console, and restarting Portal, but nothing worked. Portal works fine, and I can move with my mouse.

Is there some special command or binding I have to use, or do the Look Up and Look Down commands not work at all?

Commands Look Up and Look down do work. The command you're looking for is "cl_mouselook" - Set to 1 to use mouse for look, 0 for keyboard look. Cannot be set while connected to a server.

Needs to be set to 0 to work with your binding.

You must be on the main menu to be able to set cl_mouselook.
