Key binding for down isn't working

#1 Post by Lailoken »

I'm on a laptop with no obvious way to turn on number pad, so I set my key bindings like this:
up, down, left, and right are up down left and right respectively.
diagonal up-left is shift-up, down-left is shift-left, down-right is shift-down, and up-right is shift-right
the run directions are same as above but with a ctrl modifier.

So the issue I have is that if I press just down it moves down-right. If i press shift-down it runs down-right. I tried rebinding all the keys but nothing works except to rebind down to some other key (end in this case) which makes for some awkward controls.

yeah, t4 isnt really made for laptops :?

I just make do with it and do as little diagonal movement as possible.

the other possibility is to go with roguelike commands, though those are a tad confusing at first.

The laptop thing is just an aside to explain my strange mapping. The bug I'm reporting is that when I press down it goes diagonal, and when i press shift-down it runs diagonal, even though my down is mapped to down arrow and diagonal down is mapped to shift-down (run diagonal down is mapped to shift-ctrl-down)
