key bindings: show what key DF thinks was pressed
« on: April 03, 2010, 09:17:42 am »
I'm on a Mac with a german keyboard so I need to do some redefining to get DF to work.
Unfortunately it looks like DF thinks I have a english layout (e.g.: for '>' i need to press ';'). More problematic is that it doesn't recoginze the ALT key.

So when I want to redfine an 'ALT+something' combo, only the 'something' key is recognized and I can't go back to the original combo (probably assigning a key twice).

My suggestion: in the key bindings menu have a test mode which justs shows what key DF thinks was pressed. Preferably to be activated with ENTER which is AFAIK avalable on any keyboard.

thanks
