Keyboard idiosyncrasies

[fawtytoo]

I use the Dvorak keyboard layout. If I configure "Y" for strafe right, it works as expected. But when I quit Chocolate, I have to press "F" instead of "Y". "F" on Dvorak is where "Y" is on Qwerty.

It's stored in config as ASCII. The key event is mapped to ASCII by scancode:

chocolate-doom/src/i_input.c

Line 126 in 5ad26cb

if (scancode >= 0 && scancode < arrlen(scancode_translate_table))

scancode depends on the position of the key on the keyboard and not on the symbol it produces. Working as intended I guess and changing it at this point would not be easy.

You may want to disable the Vanilla Keyboard Mapping config key:

chocolate-doom/src/i_input.c

Lines 87 to 91 in 5ad26cb

	// If true, keyboard mapping is ignored, like in Vanilla Doom.
	// The sensible thing to do is to disable this if you have a non-US
	// keyboard.
	int vanilla_keyboard_mapping = true;

Hmmm. So that is stored in chocolate-doom.cfg too. I set it to 0 but no difference.
