Non QWERTY user support
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The game does not take into account the keyboard layout of the user and seems based on a default QWERTY layout. (keybindings in options + hints display though game)


The base game is using already a certain amount of keys, and not even talking about mods that use even more keys. Might be good to fix such kind of things early in the development.
When typing in the chat, everything works fine.

Steps To Reproduce

Start the game, start the tutorial. The hints may not display the correct key to use if your keyboard layout is not QWERTY type. Customise your keybindings though the options : the keys does not represent the key used through your keylayout.

Additional Information

For me as example, I use a QWERTZ keyboard layout. So to prone, i must use the "Y" key and not "Z" as displayed. Same for the keybindings, it displays a "Z" to prone despite me using the "Y" key of my keyboard. Same problem if i recustomize keys that are different between QWERTY and QWERTZ key layout.

I don't know if you realize how it can be frustrating for other people (not me I'm a BI fanboy :D and I can aford that ). For example, just a few hours ago before buying the game, I watched a video of a youtuber/streamer who struggled to find the right button for an action for long minutes while making a review of the game. And two days ago, a French friend (AZERTY layout) was upset about a similar problem with another game. It's really a common problem for us "non-QWERTY" users.
