Unable to map % key in controls


Ram-Z
  • Branch: Live Branch Version: Steam Pending

When trying to map the % key in "Options -> Controls", the key is not recognized.

I have to admit that my keyboard layout is quite a bit special as I have inverted the number row to reach the special chars more easily. Mapping any other keys (in that row) works just fine, which I have to commend you on as this is rarely supported and forces me to change my layout.


Steps to Reproduce
1. Choose a keyboard layout that has % as a non-shifted character * French BÉPO has it by default, although it might not be available on all platforms * On linux, running ` xmodmap -e "keycode 14 = percent 5"` will swap just the % and 5 key (for QWERTY layouts) 2. Start Game 3. Go to Options->Controls 4. Click any command to remap 5. Click the % key 6. Nothing happens, where it should have mapped that key to the command.

"Steps to Reproduce" formatting got a bit mangled, here it is again:

  2. Start Game
  3. Go to Options->Controls
  4. Click any command to remap
  5. Click the % key
  6. Nothing happens, where it should have mapped that key to the command.

The 5 key is used for base build menu 5 on my default settings, trying to use that same key for a second purpose doesn't seem possible to me, maybe I got lost somewhere but that is what this looks like to me.
