Waypoint Move[edit | edit source]
Ordinarily, when you tell a soldier to move to a location, they will take the shortest path automatically and will avoid any hazards along the way. If you wish to force your unit to take a different path to your location, you may enter waypoint move mode by pressing ctrl or x (keyboard) or holding down the move button (console).
Configs[edit | edit source]
Keybind data can be found in source code: XCOM 2 SDK\Development\SrcOrig\XComGame\Classes\XComKeybindingData.uc
Keybinds can be viewed and edited without booting up the game in game config: XCOM 2\XComGame\Config\DefaultInput. Beware that this file includes the inputs used to navigate fundamental game features such as the main menu.
