I'm on a Mac and I use the Dvorak keyboard layout. Most keys seem to work, as the Qwerty equivalent is a letter. However, the v key on Dvorak is in the position of the fullstop in Qwerty. Because of this, it seems that when I want to press v, it behaves as though I pressed fullstop. This happens to me during gameplay; I haven't yet tested how it behaves during text input.

I don't know very much about how different keyboards interact with virtual key codes and so on.  Does remapping the keys in ESC-k (or data/init/interface.txt) help at all?  I'm not sure how to tell DF to stop sending the incorrect virtual key code when such a keyboard is installed if that's what's happening.

Remapping doesn't really help all that much.. I *can* remap stuff, but anything that's punctuation in Dvorak but a letter in Qwerty isn't even recognised. (eg, fullstop, which is an e in Qwerty).

It seems like a lot of games don't really understand non-Qwerty keyboard layouts. I've just given up and switch to Qwerty when I want to play them.

Yeah, except my keyboard is blank and I don't actually know Qwerty.
