QWERTY & AZERTY

[uni]

Still no way to change key binding after years. well done
I dont speak about switching with alt+shift, i'm talking about a option to change keybind.

[The Sewer Guide]

get a real keyboard
Dunno how this works, but check this out: https://github.com/micolous/sdl-fakeqwerty

I think my g510s is a real keyboard
My problem here is I have to disable the langage entry switch in windows option (alt+shift) when i play Dota 2 because i use thoses keys ingame to play.
And I have to enable it when i play prison architect to play the game.
All of this is annoying.

Hi, you are not the only one with this problem, so I can confirm this is very annoying. I already have reported on the Paradox suggestion forums the problem and I really want them to do something about it.

It's annoying to press alt+shift?

Not to press ALT+SHIFT, that's not the problem here. Some people like me got windows ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, so whatever games like CS: GO mess up with AZERTY/QWERTY. Because not only ALT+SHIFT works, for some, SIFT+SPACE works, for others that's WIN+SPACE... There are so many hotkeys that it's very easy to change keyboard inputs. So, you can imagine that it’s very easy to lose a game because your Windows want you to suffer, you are going to say to me that, it’s easy to come back to AZERTY/QWERTY, I would answer yes but no. As I said Windows want you to die, so it won’t work, you’ll have to restart your game, pretty annoying. Only solution, have Windows configured with only one keyboard input, so it can’t change, but in some games like PA you have to play with arrow/QWERTY input on an AZERTY keyboard.

It's annoying to go to windows setting, date & langage, langage, choose a entry method, key shortcut for langage, then clic on modify, then disable alt+shift to play dota2. And then do all of this again to enable alt+shift after to play prison architect because the game is QWERTY by default and my keyboard is AZERTY by default.
Do you understand ? If i play dota2 and i have to press alt(for self cast) plus shift(for queue cast) it will turn my keyboard on QWERTY during a game. To prevent this i have to do what i say on the windows setting.
So if Prison architect had a keybind setting everything is solve.

While I acknowledge that it's not an ideal solution, you can easily run an autohotkey script that will only be active when the game window is in focus. You'll be able to have your AZERTY layout to simply fire the appropriate QWERTY layout keys. It'll screw up your search box entry unless you add an intuitive way to turn it off when entering search terms, like... hitting enter, or something else intuitive. I'm gonna add something appropriate to my AHK script in a hot minute.

EDIT: I'm trying out holding down left shift as a way to suspend the script for searching. I'll post later in here if it works out okay.

Heya, sorry to necro this thread but it's still a problem today.

Would be great if the game could automatically adapt for azerty keyboards, like most games do these days using localization or something, or at least if we could got an "Assign Keys" feature.
Thanks ^^

[Cause'Chaos]

Still an issue in 2022 (almost 23)... english language support is often not enabled in systems shipped with azerty keyboards.
Rebinding keys would be fantastic, it could be another DLC opportunity :)
And yup shamelessly necro'ing this topic.

[uni]

No shame buddy. Havn't played the game in 2 years quite funny it's still the same ahah

[Eve of the West]

Just in case anyone was interested: I used shift as a modifier key and it worked just fine for autohotkey. It's a little awkward but not too bad. Better than the alternative.

[Celtic-Soul]

It's kinda respectless to let this problem run for so long. Not a big deal to think about other localizations. Not a big deal to play with this neither but well, it's not an hardcore QOL update we're asking for. I mean for the first years it was ok but now they made lots of sells and several DLCs. They could do it if they wanted it. The game is still awesome but well, they could think about this problem. it's litteraly the same for every PC games in the world and most of them solve or circumvent the problem. Dunno why they don't get this cleaned.
