Change Alt + 2!

[xXziroXx]

Can Alt + 2 be changed into Alt + 3, or ANYTHING (except Alt + 4 since that makes a $) else? The reason for that, is, if you are using a europeean (atleast a nordic keyboard..) qwerty keyboard and want to make an @ - you have to press Alt + 2. But when doing so, the "save image" window pops up instead of making an @.

I say make it a special key for the Europeans...ctrl, alt, del
I'm JK!
Anyway, you could do something like detecting if a chat window is open, or PM, etc. Or just make it alt shift, or do what Ziro said.

[xXziroXx]

Yeah! Remove all the Alt + commands, and make them into Alt Gr + # or Alt + Shift + #

[Admins]

You are sure about Alt + ? x-x I didn't know that any OS or keyboard layout is using Alt + a key for anything useful. Normally all characters are put on key, shift + key or alt-gr + key.

[xXziroXx]

All characters that I can make with Alt + :


Alt + 2 = @
Alt + 3 = £
Alt + 4 = $
Alt + 7 = {
Alt + 8 = [
Alt + 9 = ]
Alt + 0 = }
Alt + + = \
Alt + ¨ = ~
Alt + e = €
Alt + < = |


Also works with Alt Gr instead of Alt. So im suggesting to remove all Alt commands and make them Alt + Shift instead, this have been bugging me ever since v4 was released.

*shrugs* While we're opening the config window - any thoughts on the eternal "I use W for North!" issue? Maybe Massokre fixed it in his own time, but it's a symptom-vs-cause relationship - a lot of servers have, and will, added keys...InMyHumbleOpinion it'd be better to just make all these things clientside variables and open up a scripted Config window, splat the script into every server's system and have done with, they can edit in more options as they see fit. Put another way:

client.alt1="%A1";

But it's late, so maybe I'm talking nonsense again.

[Chompy]

this stuff is happening too me also, so boring, like when I was at any server and I had to write a @ I had to go through player profiles and copy&paste into chat bar...

oh well, I agree with Ziro

@ Tyhm: that sounds kinda confusing for me

[xXziroXx]

Yeah, thats what I have to do to, it started when v4 came out.. Cant you disable Alt + Key while ChatBar.visible == true Stefan?

[Chompy]

would be better for us who live more north
(they who use that keyboard type)

ChatBar is scripted, I don't think you can interfere whats hard-coded to "soft-coded" aka scripted via Graal

Alt Gr is on Swedish keyboards you swenoob.

I guess there could be a checklist in options that says like...

Normal Keyboards
Nordic Keyboards

Nordic ones get another button assigned like shift + 1, shift + 2 etc.

Macs use Alt for many symbols, and Cmd for program functions.

Nordic in general have alt gr right? Maybe german ones too?
