home mark unit | a unique block on the keyboard
end unmark unit | marks can be very useful in
pagup next marked unit | long term multiplayer games
pagdw prev marked unit |
n next unmoved unit | isn't it better is the "n" key cycle all
shift-n next partially moved or unmoved unit | units that have the possibility to move?
ctrl-n next unit of any type | (unmoved + partially) I feel I would use
| more the "shft-n" than "n"
| n -> next partially moved or unmoved unit
| shft-n -> next unmoved unit
| ctrl-n -> next unit of any type

* Keyboard (Qwerty)

q w e r t y u i o p
a s d f g h j k l
z x c v b n m

* Keyboard (German)

q w e r t z u i o p
a s d f g h j k l
y x c v b n m

* Keyboard (Dvorak)

p y f g c r l
a o e u i d h t n s
q j k x b m w v

* Keyboard (French)

a z e r t y u i o p
q s d f g h j k l m
w x c v b n

As you see, x and y are swapped on the German keyboard.
Therefore I hate games that move units with w/a/s/z keys,
assuming english keyboards. Fortunately Wesnoth is better.

That is why keyboard shortcuts are settable on a per-translation basis.
Someone doing a translation can set hotkeys for that translation,
to make more logical sense for people in that locale. -- David

this is just an idea for the default.. feel free to edit and comment!

Note: non-qwerty keyboards usually don't have zxc toghether,
so while z may be logical for zooming, x and c aren't.
I guess z/Z for zooming in and out would be fine,
but I prefer +/- unless a more useful purpose for this keys appears.
= could snap back to 100% zoom.

(repeated from above) That is why keyboard shortcuts are settable on a per-translation basis.

: This is a non-solution. Locale is country/language specific information (in other wods: language and keyboard layout are orthogonal) which means that choices like using a dvorak keyboard aren't properly supported (unless the game is translated into both German and German/Dvorak et cetera).

== Other keyboard shorcuts ==

There also exist keyboard shortcuts which currently cannot be
changed using Preferences.

In a textbox:

Home
ctrl-a jump to beginning of text
End
ctrl-e jump to end of text
ctrl-u erase text
Left move cursor one character back
Right move cursor one character forward

In a menu:

Home jump to first menu item
End jump to last menu item
[[PageUp]] scroll a page back
[[PageDown]] scroll a page forward
Up move to previous item
Down move to next item

Esc usually escapes the current action (often Cancel).
Return/Enter usually accepts the current action (often OK).
