![]() ![]() (I also wish the touchpad worked better in the game but camera controls on the keyboard are good enough. It was a lot of trial and error to pick up this game again after buying it long ago and only now trying to play it on a laptop where I make Windows remap keys for me. on the development team but the game itself is a triumph and this keyboard stuff is a minor challenge. I'm a little surprised that a European company got this wrong though with what I assume is a proliferation of keyboard maps, language packs, etc. I've never found it too hard to program when you do it up front but of course bolting something like this into an existing game is tough due to all of the hard coding that takes place. anyway I hope that FP2 gets some love in keyboard remapping. For the panels I think it was the same problem but with another step, Construction being Y, but that's on the physical T key so I had to figure out what Dvorak key makes T (which is K) and then type the key which actually makes K (which is V). Camera controls show QWERTY but I think I had to type the Dvorak key that mapped to that, e.g. ![]() but I think for most of those I had to demap them myself for initial entry. I still lost the generator panel though but maybe that's broken in general? I seem to recall it working when I first installed the game but then didn't play for a long time.) Unfortunately I can't easily run through this setup again as it's on a different computer (my current setup has a keyboard that switches so Windows doesn't know about it. I found on restarting the game the next day that the keys listed in the controls screen show that the camera controls are mapped to the QWERTY version of the keys and everything else shows the Dvorak mapping. I seem to recall the camera controls were a bit different but again, trial and error will get you there even if they keymap showing up in the UI is effectively nonsense. This took a lot of trial and error but what are there, twelve-fifteen keys to map? Not onerous (but losing the generator panel is annoying). Using Y as an example, on the QWERTY layout that's physically the T key, so I actually needed to make it remap the T key, so I pressed K on the QWERTY keyboard as that's what emits T in Dvorak. I have the panels mapped to YIXK, going down the right side of the camera controls. ![]() I found that when remapping keys, I had to press the key that in Dvorak emits the QWERTY of the key I wanted to remap, but then also the camera control remapping had one fewer redirect and it took some trial and error to figure out what I needed to do. Click the + button, then set the key and map it to a. I use Dvorak on a QWERTY keyboard and shift the camera controls one step to the right, so WASD is ESDF on the physical keyboard and mapped in Dvorak to be OEU. Click Keyboard Manager, then select Remap a key to re-assign individual keys or Remap a shortcut to assign hotkey combinations to a single key. except that it seems that the Generator panel can not be accessed if it has been remapped. It was a bit awkward to set up but it works. ![]()
