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
  • uppercase letters/characters = with
• modifier - Use a modifier key (case-sensitive)
  • none - Don't use a modifier (FIXME same as without this tag?).
  • alt - Require the key.
  • ctrl - Require the key.
• command - Specify the command to start when the button is pressed here.
  • See Keyboard Layout for descriptions and a list of commands.
