Key mappings OS X Mavericks

I am trying to remap strafe left/right to be the Alt + left key and Alt + right key combinations ... how do I do that? When I try and remap the keys via options/controls it just registers the Alt key not the combination...

TIA

Alt+Left and Alt+Right are the default bindings for strafing, so perhaps you would like to reset your bindings to the defaults in the console prompt with this command?

clearbindings; defaultbindings

In the Controls menu, the "Strafe Left/Right" controls expect a single key/button. That's why they accept the first key you press (the Alt). The "Strafe" control sets the modifier key (default: Alt) that changes the turn left/right controls into strafe left/right.

The implementation of the menu is quite old — it doesn't support bindings with modifiers. Doomsday's underlying input system could handle them but we haven't gotten around to writing a new bindings setup UI.

Hey - thanks for the quick reply...!

I did as you explained and now my controls are as follows:-

...
STRAFE LEFT -> LEFT
STRAFE RIGHT -> RIGHT
....
STRAFE -> ALT
...

however Alt+left and Alt+right do not strafe - nothing happens at all when those combinations are used... have I done something wrong?

Thx

the strafe toggle only works for the turning keys aka turn left/right of you have strafe left bound to left then you press left and you would strafe. no extra button required.

Thx for the reply Gordon... however I'm not sure if I understand you ... what I want is that <LEFT> on its own turns left, <RIGHT> on its own turns right, <ALT+LEFT> strafes left and <ALT+RIGHT> strafes right ... is that possible to set up?

TIA

The default control set up of Dday is just that (to match the original games). Thus, you shouldn't have to change any bindings.

That I think you are confusing what each control does.

'left' = a key that makes you turn left
'strafe' = a key that when pressed with whatever key you have bound to left, makes you strafe left
'strafe left' = a key that makes you strafe left

you're right - soz and apologies for the noise...
