I will tell you all how to fix the problem and you don't need to do a bunch of stuff to do it. Here is my instructions I left on the steam forums.
This is caused by the old version of Dying Light Manager. It creates a file called Data3.pak located in your game folder " Dying Light / DW". All you need to do is delete the file and everything will be fixed. If you have mods installed in that file and you want to keep them, open it with winrar or 7-zip and navigate to data/scripts/input and delete the file named "inputs_keyboard.scr". The mod manager made this file and the game is now trying to use it. It does not work correctly with the 1.4.0 update. Dying Light already has its own default keyboard file located in a different pak file "data0.pak" so you are completely safe to remove the one created by the DL mod manager.
I made a short video to show how to fix it. http://youtu.be/QmTalbLf4ME
Have you guys tried to just rebind the keys in game, sometimes that is enough to fix these kind of problems. I don't use the default key bindings and don't have any problems at all, so maybe just rebind the keys to what you want again will solve the issue...even if it is the vanilla set up you use.
For me it was simpler to use my backup (1.4 vanilla) data3.pak (or you can simply delete it and verify integrity of game cache) and do what user mwinter77 suggested on TIMEPIECE mod :

"Easy fix for 1.4 - They changed the inputs_keyboard.scr file and those chnages must be merged with the ones for this mod. Since 1.4 now fixes the general modding problem and allows override files as was done in the pre 1.21 versions of mods. Simply extract the new inputs_keyboard.scr from the game install directory/DW/Data0.pak and add the two lines required for this mod. The two lines required are:
Simply add these lines to the same section of the new inputs_keyboard.scr file extracted from Data0.pak and place that in the same local user document path as indicated in the original mod for 1.20 game version. Works perfectly now again for me."
"Change all the "EInputTarget_Player" entries to EInputTarget_HUD" It works! All I need to do is edit the four lines in the inputs_keyboard.scr from Timepiece Dl 140 mod using Notepad ++ and I can accept and track challenge again. But I seems to be missing the N button to show up.
