Description Sebastien Chaumat 2004-02-13 16:11:43 EST 
Hi,

 My fr keyboard is not mapped correclty at all. Seems to be a very common bug
accross games. It's time to fix it (-after- you take some rest ;)
Comment 1 Sebastien Chaumat 2004-02-13 16:54:11 EST 
strangely the keyboard mapping is correct in the IRC client.
It's wrong in the "customize control" panel and during the game.
Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2004-02-14 19:15:41 EST 
People were having this problem with ut2003, too. Will see about fixing this...

This is on Linux, right? Usually this report comes from Mac users.

It seems to be a SDL bug, as it affects every progs that uses this library.

I usually use the command "setxkbmap us" before i start the game, and then use
"setxkbmap fr" when i exit it.

Is that bug still worked on ? Having to switch to a US layout just before
playing is incredibly annoying before and during play.
Comment 6 Ryan C. Gordon 2005-05-21 08:56:43 EDT 
No fix planned at this point...Unreal's input subsystem isn't really up to doing
this correctly.
