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.
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:
... and the US one here:
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}}
currently available templates (should be moved to an extra page later)
