xu4 has a command-line option that tells the game to swap the y and z keys. This feature is useful because the y and z keys are swapped on German keyboards, but under Windows 98 SE, SDL assumes that they aren't. I don't know if this problem exists in other versions of Windows or in other operating systems.

It's not really an viable to start supporting this. There are too many types of keyboards and keymaps to ever support all of them with ad-hoc options.

Do the y/z keys function properly in the savegame dialog, btw?

If it's only the in-game hotkeys that are wrong, you can remap them using a keybinding file.

Yes, they do.
However, they are swapped during character creation, when you have to enter your character's name.

Ok, that's something that needs fixing, then.

and while you're at it, with the zaurus, I cannot put upper case word during creation of name too. Save dialog works fine.

Artaxerxes

That's most likely the same problem. I'll take a look at it when I get home tonight.

y/z swapping when entering name should be fixed now. Not sure about uppercase on the zaurus, so let me know if it works

I just tested the 2003-03-05 16:18 binary snapshot, and I can confirm that the y and z keys are no longer swapped during character creation.
