[v1.3.0+] Roguelike Keybindings

So I was reading a…
*ahem* spirited discussion of the game, and it happened that some of the commenter's complaints were neatly solved by
some of my own addons,
which inspired me to think I ought to write an addon for another of the commenter's complaints:

I, of course, did that manual remapping myself lo these many years ago, but I can see the use of an addon that makes that process easier for new players.
Now, I'm
pretty sure I've worked out how to do the actual modifications to the keybindings from an addon; there are a couple points, though, on which I'm seeking advice:
- What's the right UI interface? At first I was thinking of a toggle button added to the keybindings dialog, but a game option might be less complicated. Either way, it would be the change from "off" to "on" or vice versa that would trigger the keybind modifications.
- It's been so long that I no longer remember what the original keybindings for the movement keys were, or what other keybindings I had to change because they collided with the roguelike keys.

Okay, after grubbing around in all the keybinding-related data files, I
think I've tracked down all the keys I need to change, so as promised, I present my new
Roguelike Keybindings addon. I ultimately decided to go with a game option ("UI | Roguelike keybindings", unsurprisingly), as a button on the keybinding dialog would be too complex.
[Now, as noted in the option description, the actual "installed" vs. "uninstalled" state isn't really relevant; it's the act of actually
changing the setting from "uninstalled" to "installed" that installes the new keybindings. We Apologize for the Inconvenience.™]
For reference, here's all the keybindings we touch:
- Move left: h (RL) vs. Keypad4 (dflt)
- Move right: l (RL) vs. Keypad6 (dflt)
- Move up: k (RL) vs. Keypad8 (dflt)
- Move down: j (RL) vs. Keypad2 (dflt)
- Move diagonally left and up: y (RL) vs. Keypad7 (dflt)
- Move diagonally right and up: u (RL) vs. Keypad9 (dflt)
- Move diagonally left and down: b (RL) vs. Keypad1 (dflt)
- Move diagonally right and down: n (RL) vs. Keypad3 (dflt)
- Stay for a turn: Comma (RL) vs. Keypad5 (dflt)
- Run left: Shift-h (RL) vs. Shift-Keypad4 (dflt)
- Run right: Shift-l (RL) vs. Shift-Keypad6 (dflt)
- Run up: Shift-k (RL) vs. Shift-Keypad8 (dflt)
- Run down: Shift-j (RL) vs. Shift-Keypad2 (dflt)
- Run diagonally left and up: Shift-y (RL) vs. Shift-Keypad7 (dflt)
- Run diagonally right and up: Shift-u (RL) vs. Shift-Keypad9 (dflt)
- Run diagonally left and down: Shift-b (RL) vs. Shift-Keypad1 (dflt)

This mod saved me.
The new braindead auto-swap Temporal Warden was unplayable without a numpad, until I found this mod.
On behalf of all laptop players out there: thank you.

I just pulled ToME (via Steam) onto a new laptop, and this addon -- even though I'm subscribed -- didn't get installed nor auto-pulled.
zOmnibus *did* get auto-pulled.
This makes me think you need to do something to let Steam know that your stuff works with newer versions of the game, so it can auto-pull wonderful things like this addon.

(shrug) Possibly, but I have no idea what that something might be.

You know, you just reminded me why I bought this particular laptop: the numpad.
But, more to your second point, I don't use Steam, and none of zizzo's addons auto-update on any setting. It's something I've had to deal with recently and I thought I'd just mention it since it seems to be timely. I do want to say that I blame the addon updater itself instead of the addon dev for this clearly unintended behavior.
My wild guess about my problem is that tome may look for the file as indexed by filename to see if an addon has been updated. When a new file is created in an addon (to append the "version" number without eliminating the old versions), tome doesn't recognize that anything has changed because the old file still exists and is unchanged. Without native support for keeping old versions, I don't see what else zizzo could do other than have the file without version number be overwritten with the latest version of the addon, and then upload old versions with an appended version number. Then again, I don't know the guts of tome's systems in any detail, so it's just a wild guess.
That also doesn't really speak to the particular problem you're having with Steam. I guess it could be that the "profile" directory is saved to steam cloud, and that this is where the list of active addons is stored independently of the actual contents of the addons directory that is in the game directory proper. Steam could just being getting told to look at the addons list in the profile directory rather than the contents of the addons directory. So Steam knows that you're subscribed to an addon, and it sees the addons in the "active" list, and it just assumes the addon's downloaded and running. But then running tome should remove the not-installed addons from the list of active addons, which means Steam should go and get them... unless that info isn't getting to Steam cloud because tome is letting Steam manage workshop-listed addons. Maybe?
I dunno. I'm bored and talking out of my ass because I enjoy speculating aimlessly about peoples' software problems. You'd have to get Darkgod in to speak to the mechanical details.
