Reset Control Settings

[Yttrium]

I recently tried to switch from using "WASD" keys to "ESDF", sadly you can't use the "Z" key in combination with other keys like the shift key (Another suggestion? )
and I tried to switch everything back the way it was.

Sadly I couldn't remember how all the keys were configured and ended up downloading factorio from the website again to fix this.

Can you guys implement a simple reset button like alot of games have?

Deleting the [controls] section from config.ini is easier than downloading the game again.

But a reset button would be even easier.

Ah, I did not know that, Ill just do that next time im messing around with my control scheme

Having just recently had all my controls marked invalid a "reset" would indeed be nice.

If you happen to be using X you can turn the z key into shift temporarily with something like

Code: Select all

xmodmap -e 'keycode 52 = Shift_L Shift_L Shift_L Shift_L'
factorio
xmodmap -e 'keycode 52 = z Z z Z'

xmodmap -e 'keycode 52 = Shift_L Shift_L Shift_L Shift_L'
factorio
xmodmap -e 'keycode 52 = z Z z Z'

And what exactly is someone supposed to do with said code?

Well it needs to get run somehow. If you don't want to copy/paste it into a terminal all the time, you could put it into a shell script.

Reset to standard settings sound like a good option.
