Keyboard Configuration

This page provides working examples of different keyboard layouts, showing how each key (differentiating between lower and upper case) has been bound to operate a single Vega Strike function.

If a Keyboard Configuration matches your keyboard, you can edit copy the configuration here into your vegastrike config file.

KEYBOARD: bind

Sample

<bind key="S" modifier="none" command="Cockpit::SkipMusicTrack" />

Description

  • key - Specify the key here (FIXME this is now a bit of a hassle for non-english keyboards)
    • lowercase letters/characters = without SHIFT_LEFT_EN.png
    • uppercase letters/characters = with SHIFT_LEFT_EN.png
  • modifier - Use a modifier key (case-sensitive)
    • none - Don't use a modifier (FIXME same as without this tag?).
    • alt - Require the ALT_EN.png key.
    • ctrl - Require the CTRL_EN.png key.
    • shift - Require the SHIFT_LEFT_EN.png key. Usually you cannot write symbols like uppercase space or keypad symbols in config.
  • command - Specify the command to start when the button is pressed here.

Keypad Thrusters

Helps a lot on ships with decent lateral acceleration - mostly fighters and Rlaan vessels that have lateral acceleration as the main advantage - and for docking.

	<bind key="keypad-0"      modifier="none" command="NearestDangerousHostileKey" />
	<bind key="keypad-period" modifier="none" command="LockTargetKey" /> # ergonomical if you use "PickTargetKey" on mouse or NearestDangerousHostileKeythe above, and keep "MissileKey" on keypad Enter
	<bind key="keypad-1"      modifier="none" command="SwitchCombatMode" />
	<bind key="keypad-2"      modifier="none" command="ThrustDown"/>
	<bind key="keypad-3"      modifier="none" command="ThrustBack"/>
	<bind key="keypad-4"      modifier="none" command="ThrustLeft"/>
	<bind key="keypad-5"      modifier="none" command="Flight::Mode::InertialToggle"/>
	<bind key="keypad-6"      modifier="none" command="ThrustRight"/>
	<bind key="keypad-7"      modifier="none" command="MatchSpeedKey" />
	<bind key="keypad-8"      modifier="none" command="ThrustUp"/>
	<bind key="keypad-9"      modifier="none" command="ThrustFront"/>

Keypad View Switch

(more geometrically obvious binding for those who have no proper HAT switch)

	<bind key="keypad-minus"  modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::ZoomOut"/>
	<bind key="keypad-plus"   modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::ZoomIn" />
	<bind key="keypad-0"      modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::ZoomReset"/>

	<bind key="keypad-1"      modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::OutsideTarget"/>
	<bind key="keypad-2"      modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::InsideBack"/>
	<bind key="keypad-3"      modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::Behind"/>
	<bind key="keypad-4"      modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::InsideLeft"/>

	<bind key="keypad-7"      modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::PanTarget"/>
	<bind key="keypad-8"      modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::Inside"/>
	<bind key="keypad-9"      modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::Pan"/>
	<bind key="cursor-up"     modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::PitchDown"/>
	<bind key="cursor-down"   modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::PitchUp"/>
	<bind key="cursor-left"   modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::YawLeft"/>
	<bind key="cursor-right"  modifier="shift" command="Cockpit::YawRight"/>

Missile Targetting

If we have thrust somewhere else, we may as well use these buttons for two very useful commands absent in the default setup. Even without turrets, missiles can be shot with autotracking and/or beams. "[Reverse]MissileTargetKey" also cycles through salvage, so it's also scavenger-friendly.

	<bind key="." modifier="none" command="IncomingMissileTargetKey"/>
	<bind key="greater-than" modifier="none" command="ReverseIncomingMissileTargetKey"/>
	<bind key="," modifier="none" command="MissileTargetKey"/>
	<bind key="less-than" modifier="none" command="ReverseMissileTargetKey"/>

Alternatively, use Ins/Del, because roll keys are closer on keypad:

	<bind key="cursor-insert" modifier="none" command="MissileTargetKey"/>
	<bind key="cursor-insert" modifier="shift" command="ReverseMissileTargetKey"/>
	<bind key="cursor-delete" modifier="none" command="IncomingMissileTargetKey"/>
	<bind key="cursor-delete" modifier="shift" command="ReverseIncomingMissileTargetKey"/>
