Spacebar's busted...
« on: February 02, 2012, 01:56:51 pm »

Okay here's the deal...

Whenever Photoshop is open, the spacebar in Dwarf Fortress don't work. Now it won't pause (or resume.)

I tried reassigning the pause key (when photoshop WASN'T open) but the backspace don't work either.

I would very much like to be able to work on Photoshop projects while I wait for things to happen in Dwarf Fortress (things are going very slow) Is there some way to force the spacebar to work?

I couldn't. It said "press backspace to delete binding" but nothing happened.

Are you reassigning this using DF or what? Because this normally shouldn't happen...

You can also alter the keybindings in "\data\init\interface.txt".

The one you want is:
[BIND:D_PAUSE:REPEAT_NOT]
[SYM:0:Space]

Hope this works.
