Hey all,

Really liking MUSH, however I am using a laptop that does not have a numeric keypad. Hence I would like to use the cursor keys for my 'N,S,E, & W' movement.

When I go into the input 'Key mapping' properties I don't see where I can do this.

Might anyone have some insight into how to use my cursor 'arrows' to accomplish this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Looks like you can use the Accelerator() scripting function. I tried it myself, and you can't really just use the arrow keys on their own, but you can easily use alt+<direction> instead. Put this into your scripting file, for example:


Accelerator("Alt+Up", "n")
Accelerator("Alt+Down", "s")
Accelerator("Alt+Left", "w")
Accelerator("Alt+Right", "e")

Correct. Go to Input menu -> Key Name and start pressing keys to find the "official" name for a keystroke.
