[Bug] Weapon hotkeys not working on MacBook (AZERTY)

Post by parabellum »

Hello,

First, I'd like to congratulate the devs for this wonderful game.
I can't keep track of the number of hours I've spent playing it, and I seem to never can get enough :)

Now, I have a slight issue when playing on a macbook : none of the weapons shortcuts (1-4) seem to work.
Yes, it's not a big deal ; but it would be perfect if it could be fixed anyway ;)

I though the problem might be due to this MacBook having an AZERTY (French) keyboard, where the 'number' keys have their mapping inverted compared to a QWERTY keyboard.

For clarity, I have attached images showing the 2 different layouts, hope this helps.

Same issue on Linux. I have to use the keypad. I think it has to do with the way the Shift key is not handled properly by the game.

Too bad macbooks don't have keypads ;)

Better support for different keyboard layouts and international keyboards is on the list of things to get fixed.

Sorry about that.
