Shattered Pixel Dungeon- v2.5.2, desktop Linux version, github version
I prefer to play on desktop instead of mobile. On desktop, I usually get along fine just clicking to move. But sometimes I feel like using the arrow keys instead.
The arrow keys are fine for going up, down, left, and right. But moving diagonally is very important in this game. What is a comfortable way to configure my controls so that I can comfortably move diagonally? I would prefer a way that does not require the keyboard to have a numpad.
Also, is there any way to hook up a joystick / videogame controller to the desktop and use that for movement instead?
Thank you for your suggestions.
I use vi-keys as well and agree with this.
I play DCSS a lot and miss autoexplore more than Shift move, but that wouldn’t be enough to get me to play with keyboard in SHPD.
To add to this, the autorepeat causes a tiny bit of delay when moving (I think it registers a move on key release rather than press?), and there don’t seem to be keyboard shortcuts within menus (at least for item interaction).
Touchscreen/Mouse works well enough and it feels novel since most roguelikes don’t implement them.
