Keymapping BUG

[white-eagle]

Hello,

thanks for this nice little game.

I've found a small bug.

The UNDO action does not work properly on a on English keyboard.

On a German Keyboard you have to press `Y` instead of `Z`,
and on a french keyboard you have to press `W` I guess

You should consider other keyboard layouts.

kind regards
Frank

Hi, what keys to press should change automatically based on your keyboard layout, is this not happening for you? Which keyboard layout do you use, and what key do you have to press to undo?

We don't change the keys shown in the menu though, I'll try to implement that in the next update.

That "on a on English keyboard" should be "on a none English keyboard" ;-)

I've a German keyboard, and for the Undo Action I've to press Y instead of Z. So it seem that the game is running with an English keyboard layout.

Thanks! That clears up things. Then it's working as intended (z position on an english keyboard for undo), so I'll try and make the text reflect the layout.

Would that solution work for you?

I think it would be better to 'respect' the keymap. So that you have to press `Z` for UNDO wherever the key is located on your keyboard.

There are so may different and heavily altered keyboard layouts. Just take a look at the Wikipedia article about keyboard layouts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout

Most keymaps are not "Intentional" though, but rather the standard for a country. I.E. if you use a french keyboard then you generally want to use ZQSD to control the character instead of WASD. Ideally we would have rebindable keys, but the input system we used in this game makes that difficult, so if somebody wants custom key positions I would recommend AutoHotkey[www.autohotkey.com] for now.

This definitely is a lesson we'll carry with us to future games, most likely swapping from Unity's InputModule to Rewired.

We pushed an update now today, and we think we have made sure now that at least the correct key to press for the different actions is displayed in the menu, thank you for highlighting this issue white-eagle!

Don't know if your fix is working as expected.
Menu still shows Z for UNDO instead of Y

Hmm, it works for me, here's what it looks like for me with a french keyboard[i.imgur.com], and here's with a german keyboard[i.imgur.com]

That's interesting, see here [imgur.com].

Maybe this is an issue with Linux, on the other hand I've no problem in other Unitiy based games. But it's OK, as I know that I've to press Y.

Maybe a little FAQ would help other players.

On manjaro it's not showing me anything, so I guess it's a bug in unity's input package.
I can try and open an Issue at their repo in a few days when I have time.

One interesting fact:
When using Proton, due to the latest 'broken' version, I've seen Y for the undo.

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
