Keyboard Woes
NovenTheHero Jan 18, 2017
Welp, I picked up Victor Vran from the latest humble bundle and got it all fired up... only to find that it maps keyboard keys to physical location or something. This is an irritating thing for users of different keyboard layouts (I use a dvorak layout).

Is there some way to force games to use the system keymap rather than assume that everyone uses qwerty?

I applaud this choice!

For the 15 years I've been using dvorak, I always have a switch ready to go back to qwerty because you simply can't rely on game devs to get this right.

Early Feral games were a disaster. But after I reported that, it now works great out of the box.

I sent in a bug report, but I honestly expect them to tell me to bugger off or to use a qwerty layout. I won't do so, because my wrists love me.
