KaBoNG Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I recently got around to buying the FC upgrade and found my self wanting a good quality keyboard layout based on a US keyboard, which I haven't been able to find. So, I decided to create one, based on Tomas Friberg's excellent FC layout including the extra info on RWR symbols. I have uploaded it to LockOnFiles if you're interested: http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=97&lid=978&title=Lock%20On%20Flaming%20Cliffs%20US%20Keyboard%20Layout#dldetails ----------------- Update: rev.1 released: - Renamed zip container to clarify this layout is for Flaming Cliffs - Renamed pdf to match zip container name - Versioned release - Fixed "Rejoin form" key (s/b Alt+[, not Alt+]) - Renamed "Tight form tgl" key (Shft+]) "Toggle form" Should be appearing on LockOnFiles soon, but if you don't want to wait, you can grab it here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=5173 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleek Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Nice job! Btw is there much difference to a U.K layout? Be Good..Be Strong..:drink: ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBoNG Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sleek: Some - you can see several different layouts here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout And a brief comparison of the UK vs. US layout here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_and_American_keyboards The enter/return key is different, there are 2 functioning Alt keys on the US (vs. 1 Alt and 1 AltGr key on the UK), the UK \ key is in a different spot, etc. There was enough of a difference for me to want to make a new one and, judging by the download count on LockOnFiles (76 in the first 24 hours), others agree. I am not the first to make a US version though: -Tbird- did one for 1.1FC (which actually has more information on it than Tomas'/mine), although he used an edited raster image to create his so it is not as clear and readable. To create mine, I used Tomas' PDF (which is based on an previous, uncredited PDF layout on a Swedish keyboard) and edited it using Adobe Illustrator, which preserved the visual quality. BTW, I can easily edit it, if anyone sees any errors or has suggestions for improving. Blue side up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
