How to change Script Hook V & Native Trainer controls [Latest version]

Wondering how to change Script Hook V controls? You are not alone. Some of our readers have complained about not being able to change the controls to their preferred keys, especially those using a keyboard with a number pad issue.

This is why we have taken our time to compile easy steps to get this done with ease.

Generally, the Script Hook V is designed specifically for mods that use the .asi plugins. The main idea behind its development is that it compiled script plugins such that when the Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) game developer releases new updates, the user will only need to update the script hook runtime to get it working again.
