How to change the KEY BINDING (F3 KEY)
The ITEM FINDER uses the keybinding for the "Structure2"-key, default is F3.
It cannot be found in the ARK options, but you can find all key bindings in the file Input.ini

To change this binding find the Input.ini file and change the key for the binding:
Step 1: Quit ARK if it is running
Step 2: Find and enter your ARK folder (using steam)
Step 3: then goto folder "ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor"
Step 4: Open Input.ini
Step 5: find the line
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Structure2",Key=F3,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
Step 6: Change the Key=F3 to the key you want, i.e. Key=F1
Step 7: Save the Input.ini
Step 8: Start ARK and use your defined key to open the ITEM FINDER

Would you consider enabling a way to rebind this key without forcing my users to edit files? The ACM mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=558079412 already uses all the F keys by default and I've tried to disable them but for some reason I still cannot use F3 ...I am wonder as a work around if I put this mod load order in front of ACM if that will work? Off to give it a try.

Okay the test failed it doesn't matter what order they are in ACM will not allow me to have access to F3... is there another work around for my users? I'd rather not have them editing files to make a mod work.

I have tested my ITEM FINDER and ACM, I do not have any problems to open my ITEM FINDER using the F3 key, both in single and multiplayer.

What other mods are you running?

Does it have to be the "F#" key or can it be remapped to any key?

Hi again, hope your having a great day. I can't find this line "ActionMappings=(ActionName="Structure2",Key=F3,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)" in the input.ini file. Do I add that line under the [/script/engine.playerinput]? Thanx for your time.

what ini did you open? please try : ShooterGame/Config/DefaultInput.ini

per step 3 & 4 above.

I found input.ini under:

"\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\CleanSourceConfigs"
