roguelike keyset

[atan59]

Hello,

I'm new in this game and in this forum. I like to play roguelikes with the roguelike keyset, which lets me keep all fingers in the main keyboard all the time, and makes it similar to vim. It's available in Portalis through the =1 menu but I found no dicumentation for the keybindings. So I made my own, after checking that many keybinds remain mapped as in ToME. The result is in the attachd file. (^ means <ctrl> and \ is a character you actually have to type to get over the keybinds).

On another note, I noticed that the word "people" (plural of "person") is often misspelled as "peoples", which can get annoying after a while. Fortunately, in Linux this was very easy to correct by executing the following command from the root directory of Portralis:
find lib -name "*.txt" -exec sed -i "s/peoples/people/g" {} \;
which I'm sharing here in case anyone wants it pending a typo correction in some future version.


other than that, the game is quie enjoyable, but i'm still very new to it ;-)

And there's probably a lot more...

I'm actually a french canadian, and so french is my main language. I don't think my english is too bad, but I know I make a lot of mistakes.

Still, welcome to these boards. Hope you enjoy the game!

I actually live in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, and English is not my first language either
By the way, do you intend to sometime write a French version of Portalis?
Anyway, great game, so thanks for having spent a probably considerable time creating it!

Right now, I have no plans for a multilanguage version of Portralis. That would be nice, but would be very long to do. Time that I prefer to spend on the game itself at the moment.
