Summary0001453: Cannot Assign Points to Dwarfs
DescriptionWhen I try to start a new Dwarf Fortress Mode and I have the option to assign points to the starting 7 dwarfs I am unable to for some unknown reason. My +- keys obviously work here, on my MacBook (laptop), but in-game I am unable to us the +- keys, no matter if im holding Shift down, Fn, Command, etc. I've tried it all.

Try changing your keybindings. I think this is a known issue with laptops where the default keybindings are not correct.

getting the secondary selectors etc working on laptops and netbooks is a pain if you're used to a full PC keyboard. ;)

I use [ + ] as alternatives.

keyloggings can be accessed via the ESC menu.
note: there are several secondary menu selectors, some cannot use the same keys.


issue resolved. :)

edit: these are the relevant strings in the interface.txt I think:
[SECONDSCROLL_UP:KEYDD]
[SECONDSCROLL_DOWN:KEYDB]
[SECONDSCROLL_PAGEUP:COMMA]
[SECONDSCROLL_PAGEDOWN:PERIOD]

I'm going to mark this as resolved, since it's been a week without hearing from the bug reporter, and hopefully the links on this page have helped him/her out!

Zdazzle, if you need any further help, you can contact me on the forums via Private Messaging.
