40d Talk:Controls

I'm not sure why we have unused keys at all in this list, but I preserved them from the original author and gave them a bit of formatting to make them less visible (Template:unusedkey if you want to change the colour from #aaa). --JT 19:59, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

I just found it easier to keep the long key lists in A-Z order if I wrote all the letters first and then the assignments, and made it easier to spot if I missed any keys. Feel free to remove them if you want. --SupSuper 12:42, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Might it be a good idea to link this from the main page? I played the previous DF, but it still took a few minutes to figure out all the controls - I pity any new players who try it, and many basic controls (like moving through Z-levels) aren't easily discovered.

Weird Keyboards

I play on my French laptop, which has an AZERTY keyboard and no keypad. Some of the controls seem to be hardcoded expecting a QWERTY keyboard (or keypad). If someone has the same problem and found a workaround, please post your config file, thanks. --Senso 11:22, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

I found the keybinding suggestions[1] on the old wiki to be incredibly helpful for a laptop keyboard. Should this information be placed here? --Mechturk 17:09, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Layout

The layout is incoherent for keys that have subcommands. Compare V and M. --Mizipzor 15:14, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

This is because V leads a screen where you can use the subkeys as many times as you want, while Mg is a combination that leads to a separate screen (you can't do Mggg...). I suspect I'll eventually move them to their own wiki page about the spectacular 3D view. :D --SupSuper 13:50, 13 November 2007 (EST)
