  • Non USA keyboards and Netrunner

    From hal@21:1/177 to All on Wed Mar 10 11:18:26 2021
    Does anybody know how to change the keyboard settings in Netrunner

    Here in the UK we have a different keyboard to the USA as most of you are probably aware and the " signs don't appear on the standard keys and my OS keyboard settings are set accordingly.

    For some reason the default configuration of Netrunner ignores the system defined language settings.

    Alt-O shows a bunch of options that can be changed but the submenus for File Transfer and Keyboard are yet to be implemented. Similarly there doesn't
    appear anything obvious in the netrunner.ini or netrunner.txt.

    I assume that it has yet to be implemented from the lack of working alt-O keyboard options page. If that's the case fine ... I just didn't want to be continuing keeping the US keyboard in mind whilst typing if somebody could
    have said "Oh you just do this".

    I'm fortunate enough to be old enough that I used many US keyboards in my earlier days as UK keyboards often weren't shipped as standard.

    No I don't sorry.

    I also went to the txt doc file and the ini file but there seems to be
    nothing in that.

    You could try contacting the author (g00r00) in the Fidonet MYSTIC echo as

    The reverse is also true in many programs. You're using the keyboard for everything, change it in the OS. All the OS have keyboard settings. Use
    the help files for the OS, there should be information for US vs UK keyboards already in help.

    My problem is the other way around. OS is set correctly with my hardware but oddly the Netrunner seems to just think that you have a US keyboard and
    ignores the OS settings.

    netrunner will probably always be a bit strange in that regard.. i'm not sure how exactly SDL (a library primarily intended for graphics/sound for games) handles it's keyboard, but my guess is probably not in a "needs to be international" sort of way :)
