Hey, do the non-QWERTY have some other default that makes sense to offer as an option to WASD or is it better to have the alternative be it's configurable?


I would personally go for configurable. I use the keys that are equivalent to QWERTY’s ESDF keys so that I never have to move my hands from home row for movement in a game. When moving through text I prefer vim keybinds.


Thanks, I will will try to budget time for my little games for configurable keybinds, since they use very few keys I had so far hardcoded WASD but never thought about other keyboard layouts. Thanks for the input!
