Hi Folks, it's been some time now, but ever since 2 patches ago, I cannot figure out how to rotate my builings. Used to be [], then changed to \, then somehow to . . ... I am lost, I cannot find it in the zk_Keys.lua either. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Some time ago it was ß on a qwertz keyboard. But since new engine is used it doesn't work anymore.

You could tick "Use uikeys.txt" in the Zero-K in-game options and then tweak the file. Apparently that is not an officially supported mode though.

Got the same problem. Another key that broke for me in the new engine is Enter. I can no longer use Enter to chat, only Return.

I tried the uikeys.txt, and edited the buildface inc position, but it has no effect. Maybe that is no longer supported? Please can someone bring back rotations for the qwertz users :) ?

The uikeys.txt advice was bad. Do not do it.

Instead just edit zk_keys.lua in My Games\Spring\LuaUI\Configs.

Well, I forgot to mention there is a downside to using uikeys.txt: controls configured through the in-game settings cease to function.

The zk_keys commands are "buildfacing inc" and "buildfacing dec".

buildfacing inc and buildfacing dec hotkeys set in zk_keys dont work for me to restore the old function. It seems using ß and ´ is not possible without some deeper hacking done.

I think I might try bluestone's second suggestion some day.

Insert and Delete sound like good keys for alternate bindings for rotation.

I use the numpad now: 2, 4, 8, 6 to get proper facing with one click.

Skasi, try messing with this file in the source to add zk_keys support for your funny German letters:

https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/blob/master/LuaUI/Configs/transkey.lua

Use this file as a reference for keycodes:

Is this how vanilla ZK users should change their settings ? -> No

Where are the vanilla ZK users? We're trying to find a solution to the problem using the feedback of people with problematic problems. That leads to a general solution. So butt out.
