Non-qwerty keyboard layout support on Linux

[Walkman100]

I have a Dvorak keyboard, and have the system set up to use it, but OpenDune gets my input as if it's Qwerty, typing "Walkman":

typing "None":

(I have no idea what the answers to any of these questions are btw)

My input config:

Using Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa, Qt: 4.8.6, KDE Development Platform: 4.14.2, Plasma Desktop Shell: 4.11.11, IBus 1.5.5

Using OpenDune v0.8 (from the title bar, opendune --version starts up the game as normal) from release v0.8 with data files from Abandonia

I've encountered a few other bugs, should I make issues for them? I won't bother if no one's working on this or they won't help anyone. I have no music, and some of the arrow keys don't work as expected (#286). I'd also like to request a few features, like command-line support for options (#287), skipping the cutscene at the beginning, key rebinding, setting the game zoom factor in the game settings e.t.c.

Also fullscreen bugs out pretty badly, it disables the keyboard until I restart the game, and it doesn't fill up the screen or cover the windows beneath it, so I see parts of the underlying window around the border of the game.

I don't know if the original Dune II supports non US-QWERTY keyboard layouts.
We are using code translated from the original Dune II
I will have a look at what it is possible to do.

By the way, are you using SDL or SDL2 ?

About other bugs, please open other issues.

Sorry about the late reply.
I'm using SDL2:

> apt show libsdl2-2.0-0
Package: libsdl2-2.0-0
State: installed

@Walkman100 have you tried the original Dune II game with your keyboard (in DOS or with DOSBox) ?

[Walkman100]

Just tested this on Windows, it gets my keyboard input fine. No I haven't tried the original Dune II in DOSBox, however I do remember DOSBox on my Linux install got my keyboard input as if I was using a Qwerty layout too... hmm...

Dune II / OpenDUNE is using its own code to translate XT/AT keyboard scancodes to it's how key codes and then ASCII values :
https://github.com/miniupnp/OpenDUNE/blob/fa9c2e4bb7c62b9eae9eb4d2f4cec2d0092f5c55/src/input/input.c#L61
It is using the US QWERTY Keyboard layout.
