Hi,

Is it possible to have a different keyboard layout than QWERTY. I use the Programmer Dvorak layout, but as soon as I try and type anything in the FP IDE it's Qwerty.

I'm running FP IDE from within a Gnome Terminal. The Gnome Terminal supported the Programmer Dvorak layout.

The IDE has a learn keys function.

That's only got F-keys and special keys like PgUp, PgDn etc.. What about alpha keys, numeric keys etc..? eg: a-z and 0-9 ....

The IDE recognizes the characters a-z sent by the terminal emulator. Those are then converted to scancode+symbol in the keyboard unit, and then interpreted again. FV uses just the scancode, so some weird characters that do not have a scancode might fail.

However, it should be keymap independend, and on my system it works perfectly: if I swaitch my keyboard to azerty is behaves as expected both in xterm and console.

OK, that's weird. Somehow that one terminal got reset to Qwerty (not sure how that happened). I opened another terminal windows, made sure it's Dvorak, then started FP. Now all is fine. :-)

Thanks for the responses.

Graeme.
