Keyboard not using Dvorak layout

[Nullus]

Hi, I use the Dvorak keyboard layout on my computer. However, I've noticed that the game seems to change the keyboard layout to QWERTY. I know that on A23 it uses Dvorak. Is this intended?

Are you talking about the SVN version?

Dvorak works fine in lobby, tested on linux

I've been using the SVN version. I noticed today that the keyboard seems to use Dvorak for the chat, but the hotkeys use Querty.

Yeah, it uses Qwerty as reference, eg what me meand to be Q will be D on your keyboard. The tooltips and the manual adjust accordingly to show you what key to press.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if this was intentional.

It is, it's a new change for A24 which makes the default hotkeys work for keyboard layouts out to the box.

If you use the hotkey editor, it's actually saving the 'position' of the key you're entering, not the key itself if you change layouts the hotkeys remain in the same spot.

btw @wraitii how hard would it be to display there key depending on layout but actually record position of the key as now? 

I think it may save some questions from users what's going on.

This is what it should do right now, but SDL2 doesn't have perfect translation and it fails for some keys, unfortunately. I think we'll have to manually patch a few cases, but that seemed trickier.
