The Tavern

Hi! I have added a few lines to my $HOME/.crawlrc file so the keyboard assignments make more sense on a QWERTZ keyboard layout. I suppose this is usable for other QWERTZ users as well. Maybe it is even good enough to be distributed by default with DCSS (like the other “command_keys.txt” files)?

Here is the code:


Basically this just switches Z with Y. So the movement keys finally make sense under QWERTZ, and casting a smell is now on [y] and [Y]. Fun fact: In the in-game key help it now says “yap” and “Yap”.

Everything else is unchanged, because I think the other keys are not so important, after all and it does not matter so much if they are displaced if compared to QWERTY.

Thanks, I will try this! Maybe now I can finally use vi keys.

Isn't this what the "remapping" feature in ctrl-d is for?

ctrl-d?

Hm, never mind. (I was thinking of the option to make a '(k)eymap' at the macro prompt, but that would swap Z and Y in menus, for instance, which doesn't seem to be what you want.)
