Title: Non-us keyboard (Spanish)
Post by: francescortiz on September 11, 2012, 01:49:36 am

In Linux everything works fine except two things:
  · No way to pres the keys shown below.
  · (not important to me and out of this topic) the launcher does not launch the game, i do the setup with the wx gui and launch it through command line.

So facts:
 

• My keyboard is Spanish.
• I change the layout to us through KDE System Settings and still can't press [\], though the mapping is changed (I tested it)
• All these keys have no effect in the game:

Code: [Select]

    [Key] -> [Us equipavalent]
    [º] -> [`]
    ['] -> [-]
    [¡] -> [=]
    [`] -> [[]
    [+] -> []]
    [´] -> [']
    [ç] -> [\]
 

• Finally, I changed my keyboard to us through command line and all keys worked.

yes, this is the well known, long-time hatred i've had of FSO on linux, unfortunately. Best you can do probably is rebind all the commands you find at the unuseable keys, unfortunately.

or have a script that switches the kb before launching fso, then switches it back after fso closes.

Could you start another thread in the Diaspora Tech Help forum about this issue? I'd like to learn more.

Also note that the launcher does not change any game settings until you press "Play".

Thanks.
