saving embark profiles

Not sure whether this is a bug or I'm just having a brain fart. Surely someone has done this before, but how do you get out of this screen?

If I hit g or a it just adds that letter to the text box.

Hit Enter?
I'm guessing, I've yet to use the profiler.

enter does nothing, escape takes you to the main menu, space just adds a space...

I can find no options for those controls in the key bindings either.

Huh what the hell?
If I save my embark profile, I see this:
[Sorry Im lazy to take a screenie.. ;D]

To save these settings, choose a name for this embark profile:
.........................................................-> type in the name
Enter: Save                                        Shift + Space: Abort

So it seems like that you have replaced Enter with g and Shift + Space with a  ???

There is possibly something fishy about the way the interface file is saved on my laptop, which is where this game is.  I have had to reassign many keys because whole screens will appear where all the options are ctrl+F10.

However I combed the options trying to find the key bindings for these controls but was unable to.

Yes, there was a (evidently corrupted) interface file in the virtual store directory that the game was using. Not sure how I can get it to stop doing that.

I replaced it with a fresh interface file and I now get the same as you.

Nice, finally it works for you also.  ;)
