Description Jeff Moe (reporter) 2010-01-06 01:52:32 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
1.8.3-18


EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Be born in France.

2. Buy N900.

3. Download burgerspace, despite contempt for burgers.


EXPECTED OUTCOME:
The keymapping allows you to build many many burgers.


ACTUAL OUTCOME:
The keymap sucks, if you are French.


REPRODUCIBILITY:
100%


EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:
N/A.


OTHER COMMENTS:
Currently the keymap allows arrows or:
H = Left
K = Right
U = Up
M = Down

and SPACE for throwing pepper.

This was done at the request of the Finnish, IIRC. But this doesn't work well
for French keyboards because the M is way off to the right, and they don't have
up/down without the Fn key.

Someone mentioned Duke Nukem does $foo at it's startup to deal with this.
Investigate.
