Keybinding with broken arrow keys
« on: February 29, 2016, 11:30:16 pm »
My Left Key is completely nonfunctional due to a spill, how can I edit my Keybinding to account for this (I can't edit keybinding using the traditional interface)?

It's a buyers market. The author writes what sells, catering to the lowly demands of uneducated masses. In this case, apparently, charioteers.

Can we get migrant sponge cooks, a squid for bookkeeper, a starfish peasants, squirrel mechanics, vermin invaders, and cook roast crab meats?

Your best long-term solution would be to edit the registry (or download Sharpkeys or a similar program to do it for you) to remap your keyboard at an OS level, rather than just for DF. Your Right control key would be a good substitute for left.

As a poor teenager I really don't have rein over that. I'm just looking for a temporary solution.

Maybe you can use numlock to switch between number and arrow keys?
Do you have a working numpad?

Nevermind, I fixed the problem by connecting the keyboard from one of my old PCs to my laptop.
