Keyboard layout

Post #1by piellepi » 02.10.2003, 09:06

Hi, I'm an amateur astronomer from Rome,Italy.
IMHO Celestia is the BEST program I've ever seen!!!!
My only problem is that in Italy we have a different keyboard layout from american one: no "~" key (Alt-126!!!), no reverse apostrophe, and so on. So I'm in trouble.
I'm a experienced software developer so I did some "hacking" on the latest celestia executable (there is no source code yet!) and I succeded in replicating the "~" key with the "|" one, till now unused...
Chris, do you think it would be possible to introduce a sort of "keyboard layout switching" in order to help us italians and also french or german or spanish people?
Thanks a lot for Celestia! We needed such a program!

I agree, there should be possibility to re-map the keys. I'm using Swedish/Finnish keyboard and "~" is available with AltGr+? (or Alt+Control+?), "[", "]", "|" are same way difficult.
