Anybody using DF on a small mac keyboard? How can you remap the delete key?--Kwieland 00:07, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

From the top-level game interface, hit the Escape key to get to the game options. Go to "Key Bindings", then "Text Entry". The first option is "String: Backspace". Choose "Add Binding" (right arrow) and hit the key you want to use for backspace. (I have a full keyboard so I use the "Delete |X>" key, but I assume you will have to use something like a backslash or maybe a control key combination, if that works.) Then hit Escape and choose "Save and Exit", unless you want to just try out the key for this session. The "Delete" key does work to remove bindings, so feel free to experiment until you find something you like.--Scrotch 03:08, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice! I tried this but found that String: Backspace was already bound to the key I want to use ("delete" on my Apple keyboard), but it doesn't function that way. I'll bind another key as a workaround... -- Maunder 22:37, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
