Key Remapping Functions

Ninja Input exposes several key functions for working with Input Remapping, all available in the Input Manager Component.

Function	Description
`GetInputUserSettings`	Returns the active Input User Settings instance. This will be the custom type `UNinjaInputUserSettings`, as configured in the remapping setup.
`RemapKey`	Remaps a key using the provided `FMapPlayerKeyArgs`, which must contain the unique mapping ID and the new key.
`SaveInputSettings`	Saves the current input settings, typically after the player has finished configuring new bindings.

Saved Input Settings

Saving input settings happens asynchronously. You can track progress by overriding the OnAsyncSaveComplete function in your User Settings class.

It is also common to replace the default file-based serialization with a cloud save system (for example, Steam or Epic Online Services). To customize this behavior, override the AsyncSaveSettings function in your User Settings class.

User Interface Integration

While you can call these functions at any time, the most common use case is through the User Interface.

For handling the main rebinding process, the ViewModels provided by Ninja Input act as an integration layer, bridging the Input Manager functions with your UI elements.
