p for pause

Post by jonny »

After a spell of 20 years away from Elite I have returned after discovering oolite yesterday.
When I played the game years ago I used O for left and P for right but the P interferes as it is also used for Pause.
Would it be possible to have the p pause key number included in keyconfig.plist so I can use p for pause and maybe Pause/Break or Escape for Pause.

Just an idea - if not I'll just have to change the keyboard habits which I have not shaken for 20 years ;-)
Thanks for Oolite,
jonny

Try setting

Code: Select all

<key>key_pausebutton</key>
<integer>27</integer>
to switch the pause button to the 'esc' key. Of course you'll also have to reassign key_launch_escapepod
