<div class="IPBDescription">about commander in 2.0</div> Hi,
I'm wondering about the new hotkey functions in 2.0 for commanders.
So the hotkeys are
QWER
ASDF
ZXCV

But on my bloody german keyboard the 'y' and the 'z' are changed.
So, my Z is between the 'T' and the 'U' and not left to the 'X'.
It would pretty suck if i have to press my z because its just so far away <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

So will NS can handle it when i'm pressing y instead of z?

Mouse

those are the default keys. You can change them if you wish

Half life basically map every keyboard to an american keyboard. So the "qwer...." keys will always map to the 4x3 left keys of your keyboard.

No problems for german,dannish,.... keyboards.

In case Draconis's post wasn't quite clear, allow me to speak from experience: Half-Life takes keyboard inputs at a "lower level" than your keyboard config. It's hardwired so that whatever key is in the qwerty "Q" position (on my Dvorak keyboard, it's the ' key) reads in HL as a Q.

And, worst comes to worst, there's a way to rebind them.

<b>The console command to rebind commander hotkeys in 2.0 will be
<i>cl_cmhotkeys "qwerasdfzxcv"</i>
(that's default; replace the keys in quotes with the keys you want)</b>.

It is like, my "æ ø å" buttons are something else in game, like ": = ?" or some other stuff. Good typing <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
