What Did S8 Do To Keybinds? *team is investigating*

When I logged in after Season 8's patch, I noticed some of the UI functions were showing key binds on them (need/greed/pass, for instance) where I had previously removed the key bind.
Loading my old keybind files did not fix it, so I figured I'd reset the entire key bind menu, and rebuild everything again. Wouldn't be the first time something changed that made UI display of key binds break for me.
Now, my UI is showing me some kind of frankenstein combination of my key binds and default ones... somehow it seems to think I have the same key bound to multiple functions.
Fortunately, as far as I can tell, the key binds when activated actually function correctly, so the glitch seems to be limited to the UI display of key binds in the key binds menu and the UI tray/buttons which display key binds on them.
Also, if I /bind_save_file now, it doesn't show key aliases in the file, it shows a the key codes like this:
0xc8 "(null)"
0xd0 "(null)"
0xcb "(null)"
0xcd "(null)"
0x2d "(null)"
0x1b "+aim"
0xef "++autoforward"
0xf9 "(null)"
0x5d "(null)"
0xc7 "(null)"
0xc9 "(null)"
0xd1 "(null)"
0xcf "(null)"
0x4a "AdjustCamDistance -1"
0x4e "AdjustCamDistance 1"
0x30 "(null)"
0x61+0x60 "(null)"
0x5f+0x5e "(null)"
0x4f "(null)"
0x50 "(null)"
0x51 "(null)"
0x4b "(null)"
0x4c "(null)"
0x4d "(null)"
0x47 "(null)"
0x48 "(null)"
0x49 "(null)"
(etc.)
I think this might mean that the problem is somehow related to the change made to make numpad enter and enter register as two separate keys, and the UI hasn't caught up to those changes yet.
small edit:
kind of weird, only a few key binds are displayed wrong on a character until I make a change to the keybinds then change maps or relog, once I do that, then all the keybinds start displaying incorrectly.

If I have the game save my binds in a new file, I get:
I cannot read those keys, which is not how it used to work. The game is also now breaking apart keybinds, so pressing "f" after loading my keybind file gives me [System] Unknown command "with". What happened to mess up keybinds? Please fix this!
:mad:
STO Resources: <Ship Comparison - All Tiers + Small Craft + Hangar Pets> <Damage Resistance>
<R&D + Upgrade Costs> <Duty Officer Finder> <Suliban Doff Reqs> <Fleet Costs> <Rep Costs>
<Keybind Tour the Galaxy> <Fleet / Armada Management> <Currency Exchange> <Other STO Links>
Also the keys 1...0, CTRL+1...0, ALT+1...0 are reassigned to the tray 1..4 on every map change, no matter, what custom options i might have had for them.
my guess is that it has something to do with "Material files reloaded"...
there's some german thread with some guys having the same issue
german thread about resetting keybinds
i thought this issue has top priority and made a thread in the gameplay bug reports section
i'd suggest to merge or delete this thread here then but the more attention it gets the faster it's fixed
keybinds keep also resetting after every map change/char switch

That command attempts to execute a certain tray, but if it's on cooldown or unavailable, it moves on to the alternate tray. The downside is it seems you can only have 1 of these commands in a single bind, while what you use can be chained.

not true acvording my findings. I have keybinds thag use several instances of yhat command.
The command is desgned to fire two executions at first and then second intervals but it will get flubbed up someyimes on activatoon time differences and occassoonally fire first last.
R.I.P
For the last year, I have been using a set of simple keybinds for running ground maps, binds that allow me to forgo using a mouse all together, as of today they keep going back to a mix of my binds and some from what i think must be default binds, this is a really frustrating little bug.
The keybinds seem to have reset and do not to apply new changes.
I am really tired of this game and company, really.
I didn't want to believe all the hate people were throwing at Cryptic about new seasons meaning a bunch of bugs, but... they weren't kidding. This is getting out of hand.
I hope they get fixed soon...

for instance key "F" has hex 21 scan code (0x21) thus the game would likely give out error for the "with" word in the begin of the line associated to that key (the example OP described).
Maybe they have started to use scan codes in the bind system?

My old bind file says:
Z "GenSendMessage Inventory_Root SwitchActiveWeapon"
E "UseTraySlot1 1"
] "InteractWindow"
loading that had no effect, the keys wouldn't work anymore. I had to reassign the keys in the UI again, the UI also shows default stuff.. stuff thats totally not bound that way at all.. means i can load what i want the UI will show wrong stuff.
Yet changing the key in the ui worked oddly.. saving the file however produces this for those 3 keys:
0x15 "(null)"
0x12 "+STOTrayExecByTray 1 1"
0x1b "InteractWindow"
So something is definitely wrong with whats saved and loaded from the bindfile since S8.
Reassigning keys manually on each toon is a pain, especially for people with many alts..
I have a similar issue, but it is E and throttle up for me, rather than D; The thing is, some keys seem to exist multiple times - you can observe this via the "Show Keyboard" button - in my screenshot you see multiple S, E, and A's for example (there are others as well). Note how 3 instances of S are triggered in the shot.
(The Screenshot)
For me the real E Key and the E key at the right side near the Backspace (= actually) are both showing up as E, and both triggering when i push E. They have however different functions bound to them, and the fake E is overriding the desired functionality. Manually unbinding the wrong instance of the Key solves the problem for me.
There is of course still the issue with mapchange, when the keybind-reset BS happens.... :mad::mad::mad:
Wow, that is crazy. I checked mine, but it seems D doesn't trigger any other buttons. and so far, none of my other keys have that issue either. There must be a faulty EPS relay somewhere on my ship. lol
I feel very dumb for not having noticed this part the other day, but I looked at the space bar in show keyboard options and noticed it said before the intended keybinds:
Space
Bound to /bind_load_file STO_i_07882__C_space_1.txt$$...
Deleting that part and reloading my bind fixed my problem.
