Why is Editing hotkeys not Achievement compatible?

[Limuir]

Editing hotkeys is not Achievement compatible, which IMO is ridiculous. Recently I bought a tenkeyless keyboard and I wanted to change the increase speed hotkey to be "=" instead of "+" since the game doesn't recognize the "+" sign if recorded on macro via pressing "SHIFT" plus "=" (which is in fact the "+" sign but I understand it is not the same thing). So I edited the shortcuts.shortcuts file in GUI folder and I couldn't get any achievements just because i wanted to change one hotkey... I think it is either time to make at least editing the shortcut files to not change the checksum or to add a in-game hotkey options which also would not temper with checksum. This way both SP and MP can enjoy personalized experience.

I'm afraid there is nothing we in technical support can do about this.

You are welcome to lodge this as a bug:

As you see fit. All the best!

I map it via my mouse, a Razer Naga to one of the thumb buttons. Space bar as well. I don't need a keyboard to play

In the meantime, I can also suggest AutoHotkey. It's free and pretty simple to use. Just need to add =::+ to the script.
And if you do it like this, the hotkey will only work in Imperator:

#ifWinActive, ahk_exe imperator.exe
=::+
#ifWinActive
