Title: Keyboard Mapping
Post by: Kevin on January 09, 2005, 06:49:43 am
I recently started playing UQM, and it's a GREAT game.  My only complaint is that you can't assign differnt keys to different functions.  There are two issues I have with this:  

First of all, it seems to make much more sense to me to have the _LEFT_ shift and control fire the weapons in battle, since I'm conrolling the ship with my RIGHT hand.

My second issue is that the laptop I'm playing on doesn't HAVE a right control key.  I've been playing fine so far without secondary weapons, but I assume I'll want to have them eventually.

PLEASE let us change the key assignments!  Please? *cries*

Never mind.  Five seconds of searching lead me to the keys.cfg file, where I was able to reconfigure keys till I'm blue in the face.  For anyone else who didn't know how to to this, it's this file:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\uqm\keys.cfg

This may be in a different locations depending one your Windows version  and personal configuration, but this should give you a good enough idea of how to find it.
