Request: support for left handers and more :)

Post by Profanicus »

Hi, the game looks excellent but it is slightly painful for me to play interface-wise, since I am a lefty...

Can we define keyboard keys, or have an option to swap the functions of wasd/cursors? I would like to be scrolling the map with the cursor keys or numpad.

A couple of other things:
Being able to disable the map edge-scroll would be great.
The mouse wheel is zooming way too slowly.
Rotation should be possible by holding middle mouse down or something.
Would love to be able grab/drag the map with the mouse by holding left button down.

Just ideas, thanks for the game!

A couple of us have brought up the lefty situation. I'll bet there are a lot of us.

Promise that it's on my todo list! Either as a setting or through generic keyboard mapping.

Cheers

I would be fine with an either/or. Current wasd or arrow keys. Ans something for rotate in the editor.

1.4 added numpad and arrow controls for us lefties. See my Manual Additions thread.

Post back if there is something else you'd like to see.
You can call me junk - and type that with one hand.
