Title: [Answered] azerty keyboard issue
Post by: betatester on November 17, 2019, 11:31:40 am

I'm French and I'm using an "azerty" keyboard instead of the "qwerty" US version

For displaying the tech tree in XCF mod I have to use the "a" touch instead of the "q" one.
I don't know if it can be fixed but since there's several keyboards dispositions it should be taken into account

it may be a post in XCF but I think that the problem is global.

Vouloir corrigé ce genre de chose n'est pas aisé.
De nombreux jeux ont ce problème.
Je pense qu'il va falloir s'habituer à faire des conversions de touches pendant longtemps (Q/A-W/Z-,/M).
Heureusement qu'on peut avoir les fichiers "Language"en français !  ;)

but the translation is only a lesser evil, I don't know if all french talking countries use azerty keyboards. At least there should be a warning somewhere.

I tried this on the qwertz vs qwerty keyboard and can confirm the issue.

There is not much however I can do about it.
The hotkey matching is based on the ID of the key (e.g. 121), regardless of what letter is currently linked to that key (e.g. Y or Z).


Maybe there is a solution for it, but somebody else would have to contribute it.
(without rewriting everything of course)
