Keyboard Setup Problem

[Cafe]

Hey everyone!

I discovered the game yesterday, and it was all fun, but I found one game-breaking bug for anyone not comfortable with fiddling cfgs.

Many people would intend to have the Flight Controls and General Controls (out of a ship) to be the same. Unfortunately, you cannot have the same key on two different functions, because the game switches the keys to avoid conflict. This means that the default setup for keys is "unstable" if you will. It only works as long as you don't edit it.

For example, having a french layout keyboard myself, It's only possible for me to have one set of control acting correctly. If I change the Flight controls to my usual ZQSDAE keys, the general controls will be replaced with all the previous flight controls key.



My opinion : the key-switching features should be disabled entirely. The time it saves up when everything is working as intended isn't worth the time lost to edit your .cfg files again and again until it works.



Oh and by the way, being a new player, I've got to say your game looks awesome

Hey Cafe and welcome

I was bothered about that as well, but then I checked the game folder and there is a file keyboard.cfg which lets you do what you want. The game will not complain about two functions being mapped to the same key that way.
