Can everyone test their keyboards please? - VernJensen - 07-21-2011

If you have a non-U.S. keyboard, can you please go into the key controls dialog (click Options on the title screen), type every single key on your keyboard one-by-one, and see what character shows up in-game? If you don't get the correct character, please report the character you typed (what *should* have shown up.)

Rose has already done this (so if you have the exact same keyboard layout as her, no need to repsond to this thread, other than mention you have the same keyboard), but I'd like a list from other keyboard types too. I need to know exactly what characters I need to add to my font so it renders properly. Thanks!

Okay... As no one else has posted their findings i'll admit that i have no clue what you would like us to do Smile

I've tried to press down keys on my non-US keyboard while in the Key Control dialog, but nothing shows up. :-?

You have to first select the key setting you want to change then press a key. It is usually those near the return and shift keys that differs between the keyboard and also the number keys.

In which language is your computer set?

AHA! Thank you Smile *blush* that makes sense now Wink

I'm on a Danish keyboard so some of the keys are definitely different... Smile




Re: Can everyone test their keyboards please? - Scirocco - 07-22-2011

danish localized keyboard:


$ = '
? = -
´ = =
å (to the right of p)= [^ = ]
æ (to the right of l) = ;
ø (to the right of æ) = '
' = \
< =
Unknown
- = /
Alt = Option
fn = No function
F13 = Print Scrn
F14 = Scroll Lock
F15 = Pause
F16-F19 =
Unknown
The rest of the keys correspond to what's printed on them Smile

Icelandic keyboard:

° (the leftmost one in the uppermost row) = ´
ö (to the right of 0) = -
- (the rightmost one in the uppermost row) = =
æ (to the right of L) = ;
´ (next to æ) = '
+ (second to æ) = \
< = unknown
þ (to the right of .) = /

It seems to me that the game uses USA keyboard but isn't that OK?



Re: Can everyone test their keyboards please? - rose - 07-22-2011

It is not OK for users using other keyboards as the dialog will not show the chosen key. The game will work though.
If I should forget which key I have chosen for jumping left and I see in the dialog that is is ; it will not work as I had assigned ö.

The Canadian French keyboard inputs work.

Mick are you sure? When I try the é, è, à, ù, ç, ^ and / they generate other characters in the dialog for key settings


Re: Can everyone test their keyboards please? - m1ck - 07-23-2011

I tested every key. Yes I am sure.
