How do I remove WASD movement in place of Arrow Key movement?

Hey everyone!

I want my players to move with arrow keys instead of WASD because I intend for there to be an always active text input field, and WASD movement would result in unwanted text.

In my current build, both WASD and arrow keys work, but WASD is undesireable.

My top down, 2D player movement uses the following script:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerCtrl : MonoBehaviour
{


    public float movSpeed;
    float speedX, speedY;
    Rigidbody2D rb;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        speedX = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * movSpeed;
        speedY = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * movSpeed;
        rb.linearVelocity = new Vector2(speedX, speedY);
    }
}

Plus a Rigid 2D component and a Box Collider

How can I deactive WASD movement and keep only arrow keys?

Check the Unity docs for how to use the Input Manager to set up all of these Axes.

OR… just check the keys explicitly yourself, either way.
