Default keyboard layouts

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.


CVS config file

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

Keyboard artwork WIP

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:
UP_CURSOR_GENERAL.png 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}}

currently available templates (should be moved to an extra page later)

Sample image Needed code
UP_CURSOR_GENERAL.png
{{Key:Up}}
next key
