SWTOR on Mac 0.0.4

Key binds for non-US keyboard layouts.

  • New in Settings, Keyboard > Game keys by keyboard position (off by default). On a Czech,
    French or other layout whose number row doesn't type digits, the game showed key binds and
    action bars as + ě š č ř ž ý á í é or & é " ' (. Turn this on and the game sees every key
    by its position on a US keyboard: the number row is 1–0 in key binds and action bars. Typing
    in chat still uses your layout (ě š č with Czech, dead keys and Shift included).
  • Settings points it out when your current layout's number row doesn't type 1–0.
  • It changes binds on QWERTZ layouts (Czech, German) too: the key labelled Z is Y in the game,
    and the other way round, because a US keyboard has Y there.
  • How: a build of Wine's Mac driver (winemac.so) with a new option, from CodeWeavers'
    CrossOver 24.0.7 sources and a small patch (LGPL, in the repository under patches/). It is
    used only while the setting is on; otherwise the engine keeps its own driver.

Change it with the launcher and the game closed. The setting installs the driver itself, so it
works without a Reinstall; Reinstall to update in the window, as after every update, brings
the rest of the installed setup to 0.0.4.
