Default keyboard layouts

• US keyboard layout <-- Vegastrike default
• German keyboard layout
• French keyboard layout
• Spanish keyboard layout
• Russian keyboard layout

Notes

• Layouts Needed
  • Please help adding/replacing descriptions so we can provide a better basis for new users.
  • We are also searching for people who can make keyboard-maps (in the vegastrike.config) for non-US keyboards (german,french,...). If you can make them please post in the forum. See also VsManualConfig.
  • You can find a diagram showing the layout of the keys that VS uses, by following this link. (This is unstable link :-( )

• Users with non-US keyboard may keep this in mind:
  • Vegastrike maps the keys 1:1 onto other keyboard layouts. So pressing the 'exact' same key on you keyboard will work fine for you i think.
  • Exception: the http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/users/pontiac/models/keyboard/finished_images/en/BACKSLASH_EN.png-key; on a german keyboard it'd be

CVS config file

See also the vegastrike.config from CVS. The keys are stored between the <bindings> and the </bindings> tag.

Keyboard artwork WIP (should be moved to an extra page later)

Development

I'm currently trying to make some cool images for the keys (one for each language style).

You can checkout the german one here:

http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/users/pontiac/models/keyboard/finished_images/Keyboard_Layout_German.html

... and the US one here:

http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/users/pontiac/models/keyboard/finished_images/Keyboard_Layout_US.html

3D-models and source images are available here: http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/users/pontiac/models/keyboard/

Wiki Integration

I'm currently trying to integrate the single keys (for each language) into the wiki so everyone can use them without much trouble.

Example

See the first example i put in the wiki:
Wiki Source the wiki-user need to insert:

{{Key:Up}}

The Template is located under Template:Key:Up

Note that this key is language independend, so future templates will look like this:

e.g:
{{Key:DE:Pause}}
{{Key:DE:Scroll}}
{{Key:DE:Print}}
{{Key:EN:Pause}}
{{Key:EN:Scroll}}
{{Key:EN:Print}}
