I remap CAPS to ESC on my machine (Linux 64) at the OS level and then use CAPS in-game to open and close the menu in 0.16. FFF #259 says we use scancodes instead of keycodes in 0.17, which means I have to change the 'toggle menu' keybinding in order to continue to use CAPS as ESC. Unfortunately it doesn't work perfectly.
The problem happens when I change the keybinding to any key other than ESC so I think this is a controls settings bug rather than a key binding issue as discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=65881.
What did you do?
Went into 'Settings -> Controls' (from either the main menu or in-game) and changed 'Toggle menu' from ESCAPE (ESC key) to ESCAPE (CAPS key).
I also tried changing 'Toggle menu' to a non-ESCAPE key (E in this case) and adding an additional 'Toggle menu' keybinding. The result was the same every time.
What happened?
Pressing CAPS at 'Settings' menu doesn't go back to main menu. Pressing CAPS at in-game menu doesn't close the menu and un-pause the game. Pressing CAPS in any of the 'Settings' sub-menus (Graphics, Controls, Sounds, Interface, Other, Mod settings) DOES go back to the 'Settings' menu. Pressing CAPS in-game DOES pause the game and open the menu.
What did you expect to happen instead?
I expected the new keybinding to function the same as the original binding: it should be possible to use it to fully exit out from the menu (both the startup menu and in-game).
This related post (viewtopic.php?t=53595) also reports the issue but it looks like nothing came of it. Rseding91 seems to say that re-binding 'Toggle menu' from escape isn't allowed. If this is true then the option should be removed! Otherwise I'd be grateful if you could fix it.
N.B. The use of scancodes here is a bit bizarre because you use keycodes to display the keybindings! There's no way to tell if ESCAPE is the actual escape key or if it's the CAPS re-binding.
