You can quickly toggle RTX on or off using a single key, the ";" key. For some users, particularly left-handed ones, this key is already used in their Minecraft controls, for instance, I use it to move backwards, and instead of using WASD, I use PL;' respectively.
Thus, I cannot move backwards without toggling RTX on or off. Please fix this by allowing users to change the toggle key to whatever they want, so everyone regardless if they are left-handed or right-handed can finally play with RTX on in peace and not have to worry about accidentally pressing a key, such as ";".
This would make RTX more accessible, and could even help with those who have disabilities and require use of different keybinds from the usual WASD, and thus they really need to rebind the key, as it isn't just an annoyance.

Agreed all keybinds should be able to be custom mapped. However is it not possible to rebind the movement keys?
This is an accessibility issue and much like the lack of crouch lock and other features that prevent people with different life experience from enjoying the game.
It is sad to see Minecraft bedrock failing the Microsoft promise of accessibility to gamers. First by removing crouch lock, then by preventing left hand mapping....
This is a very annoying issue and should be fixed. I'm not aware of any games released in the last 20 years that arbitrarily hard-maps a single key. Except Minecraft, of course.
This also affects the Deferred Rendering toggle currently in the previews, since it's the same key. Since it's more than likely a similar change I don't think it would deserve it's own ticket, but this will affect more players who use ; once Deferred Rendering goes to live.
I do hope this issue gets resolved soon. I'm tired of having Bedrock having different movement keybinds than the rest of my games. The alternative options for lefties don't work that well for me. WASD feels clunky as a lefty, IJKL puts your hand too far away from ctrl, and arrow keys feels too 90s.
