How do I change the controls? I have got a QWERTZ keyboard, the standard layout in German speaking countries, and would like to assign "Confirm" to Y instead of Z.

Also, can you somehow setup a controller?

I never played the game before, not even seen it but reading the description and the screenshot it seems like an extremely simple, classic RPG with completelly standard turn based combat with a little touch of character-speed. Seemingly there is nothing that force you to decide faster. If you ask me the control setting is completelly unnecessary.

I guess there are four movement keys, and two action buttons (maybe two more to scroll in the menu left and right). It is a game one easily can control with a single hand.

Don't get me wrong this doesn't makes it a bad game. Actually the intro video made me interested in trying it out.

Not everyone has the same keyboard layout, e.g. z and y may be switched and some countries have a completely different layout altogether. The bigger problem, however, is that the arrow keys are used for movement. This is extremely awkward for me since I have to place my right hand rather low, over the edge of my notebook. It's uncomfortable even for short sessions and unusable for longer sessions. With respect to movement, WASD on the left hand is fine if I'm using a mouse on the right, but if I have both hands on the keyboard, I usually use the right hand, IJKL, for movement and the left for actions.
System -> Controls from the startup menu just shows the controls, I guess. There seems to be no way to edit this.

Edit: Probably same error Lord_Kane made, but since he edited it all out, it's hard to tell..

It's really disappointing that you can't change the controls. I have fun with an X Box 360 controller but I like to see a patch for this issue asap.
Since you can't change the controls in-game, why not try an out-of-game remapper? I don't use Windows myself, so I don't really know what's popular or what works, but a brief Google search turned up AutoHotkey, which is fully free software and mostly appears to be able to do at least the key remapping. It supports joysticks, but it still passes through joystick events, so the game's default bindings might get in the way.

https://autohotkey.com/

As to the joystick config, there are several commonly mentioned joystick-to-keyboard mappers out there, but I just gloss over such posts and can't tell you an exact name.

I tried autohotkey myself, and wrote a q&d arrows -> wasd config to see if it works, and holy crap, it actually works in Wine. Can't be sure if it works in Windows, though.

Heads up, it looks like you've accidentally gotten the game/window name wrong in your code. Should be "Cosmic Star Heroine"

Yeah, I'm a moron. I can't even get the name of the game right. Shockingly enough, it works in Wine. I compiled it using Ah2Exe and run the resulting executable just before CSH.exe (and kill it right after CSH.exe finishes)

It should also be simpler to map Y to Z, since it's single-shot rather than hold down:

Yup.
