How to Rebind Keys (OBSOLETE)
By The Loan Ranger
A way to rebind the keys so that those who don't use standard qwerty can play the game.
NOTE: the game now has a native keybinding system. However this guide still works if you don't want to use ingame stuff or it's broken to you.

Video Demonstration
This is simply a video demonstration on how to do this. Everything in the video will be covered bellow to make it easier to follow. All programs needed are optional.

NOTE the filepath is wrong. It is corrected bellow. Everything else with editing is accurate.
You will want to use C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Space\spacegame\Config\

and the file you are looking for is DefaultInput.ini Everything else is the exact same.

I recommend using Notepad++ to aid in editing the ini files. It can be found: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.7.4.html
Locating the Files
Step one is locating the proper files the key bindings are saved to.

Navigate to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Space\spacegame\Config\

Step two is to locate the "DefaultInput.ini" file

Step three is to right click the "Defaultinput.ini" and select "open with" then select notepad (or notepad++ if you installed it).
Editing Defaultinput.ini
This part might be tricky.

In each listing there is a "key=KEYNAME" all you need to do is replace KEYNAME with the name of your key.
The names of the letters in the english alphabet simply replace what's there. If you wish to bind to a mouse or numbers please follow the guide bellow.

1 - one
2 - two
3 - three
4 - four
5 - five
6 - six
7 - seven
8 - eight
9 - nine
0 - zero
Mouse 1 - LeftMouseButton
Mouse 2 - RightMouseButton
Shift - RightShift
Control - RightControl

If you have any questions please ask, I'll be more than happy to answer them.

@The Loan Ranger
Despite your sarcasm, this guide still did help me, the game may have the ability to rebind keys now, but there are still functions you can't rebind and keys that can't be unbound so your guide still ended up heling me by letting me edit the txt file :spazwinky:

What do we type if we want it to be blank?

key bindings are important as fuck!

ThumbMouseButton and ThumbMouseButton2 seems to work for me

Tip : If you change WASD for ZQSD, don't forget to change also 1, 2, 3... for &, é, "... if you need it

Probably. Just find whatever enter is bound to.
