Drone mode settings weirdly mapped

UI & UX
kayser_ [discord] · 7 months ago

So, I tested the drone mode capture and it's really nice, except the settings are really hard to find on my keyboard layout (Swedish). Some characters are in the same place (like , . ) but for example ; is typed by holding right shift and pressing , so it collides with the Yaw setting. Also I managed to decrease Damping to 0.000 somehow and I can't find which key to increase it again so now I can't fly anymore. The [ and ] are quite hard to reach on my keyboard as it's like AltGr-8 and AltGr-9 resopectively, and then holding right shift together with those dosen't seem to work.

Also, if I go back the the game (esc or F11) the UI comes back but the camera controls are still in drone mode. Feels wrong, but maybe it's intended?

It clearly states that to increase something you use Right Shift + whatever key it's using.
In the 2-nd/3-rd group of text (paragraph) on the 2-nd line.

So to increase Damping it woud be (Right Shift + [).

Yeah, but that doesn’t work for me, but I might have found where [ is on US keyboard

It is right next to the P key.
It's the key to the right of it.

Then again, on different keyboard layouts,
the same charactes might end-up with different key codes,
the ` and ~ are some of the prime examples of this.

Yeah, so best would be if those shortcuts display the correct key on local keyboard or if it actually worked with those characters when typed on the local keyboard. Rn it just assumes some (US?) keyboard which is tricky.

If on some layout [ actually requires you to hold shift, then it’ll be problematic
