I don't have a "NUM 8"

My keyboard doesn't have a number pad.

When I see blocks of text which must be scrolled through to read fully, the game gives me the option to scroll up or down using "NUM 8" and "NUM 2", but I don't have those keys.

The number 8/* and number 2/@ keys at the top also don't work.

I read that "DELETE" and "END" function as "NUM 8" and "NUM 2", but those don't work either.

No keys work when trying to scroll through text in-game. Neither do any of the buttons or the wheel of my mouse.

The key bind settings also don't seem to allow for binding alternative keys for scrolling through text.

So what do I do? Besides get another keyboard.

    I've never had this issue and do not have a numpad either. What text are you trying to scroll through?

    Check your bound keys. Look for the function in question and see if you can rebind it to a unused key on your keyboard.

    sounds you have accessibility mode enabled.
    i have no clue how you can turn it off without the number directional keys or a gamepad

    The function in question is not listed (at least I don't see it) and so does not have a key binding option.

    you can turn off accessibility mode in accessibility options.
    but not sure how you would without being able to scroll

    Yeah, you have accessibility mode on. I found the keybind. It's about halfway down under user interface shortcuts > gamepad > right stick up/down. You might have to turn off accessibility mode to get to the setting if you can't scroll.

    Ah, I did have accessibility mode on (it was on by default) and I was able to turn it off.

    Are you still having any issues after disabling accessibility mode?
