Just some thoughts after looking into some FG files: I am used - to be honest from my old Win$ times - to have the extraordinary functions on a combination together with the "ALT" key. But I doubt that this is possible for FlightGear as looking into the "keyboard.xml" and "freeglut_std.h" there are only definitions for the function, arrow and page keys as "special keys". I assume that some O/S don't know the "ALT" key? Or combinations like "CTRL"+"SHIFT" + keyvalue? Could it be a solution to have several seldom used function on ONE key - together with a switching menu entry in the "developer key" menu part. So that ie the "*" is either used for timewarping or ... or ... dependant on the menu selection? Just to mention, the more functions you get in a sim, the more complicated it is to have a "standard" key table. I always liked the possibility of the old FLY! sim to (re-) assign your own keys to functions. Every simmer has his own likings due to his use of the flightsim. But this means that not pure keyvalues are handled within the sim but "messages" independant from the keyboard use. As I am not a FG coder I don't know how it is handled in our sim. But this would solve a lot of problems. Regards Georg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
