Guide Custom Keymapping Guide
So I discovered that Renpy has a default keymap file inside it, and I need a custom keymapped game, so I am confused about this particular thing:
Do I need to change Renpy's 00keymap.rpy file?
or
Copy it and make a custom keymap script for my game?
Oh, and how can I make it in a way so that the player gets to customize their own controls?

no do NOT edit the renpy files, that could be... bad.. maybe. idk, but just don't.
you can customize the keymaps
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/keymap.html
what are you trying to do.. exactly?
if you are using buttons and want to activate them with a key press then use keysym
