Can you pls release the next Version?

I cant play, because in 14.20 i cant use my Numpad and without i cant play.
I'm a left handed Gamer, so i need the Numpad.

Greetz,

Luzifer

Ssik I WANT THIS. Can sell a soul or two for it.

You can buy left handed keyboards from Amazon but they are a bit pricey.

A gaming keypad such as the Logitech G13 or Razer Orbweaver might also help your problem here - again they're not cheap, but they would give you the facility to transfer key operations to your right hand.

I think this should go into bug reports? 14.20 doesn't mention a change that explains the behaviour and if it worked in 14.19 it still should.

Side note: I'm left handed too, and i could never ever use a keyboard like that, let alone use a mouse for the left hand

It already has been through Bug Reports and is fixed for the next release:

There might be a 0.14.21 soon where this is fixed, but there might also be no new release and then it'll be fixed with 0.15.0 around February 2017.

Asus is just releasing a new keyboard called the Claymore and t's got a detachable/switchable number pad. It'll be overpriced like all their "gamer" stuff, but it might be of interest to a southpaw.

There are people who use left-handed mice and right-handed keyboards?

Guess I can consider myself lucky to have developed ambidexterity especially because most tools and other things were designed for right-handed people, though initially I started out being left-handed.

Sorry, but I play on a laptop.

What Numpad? I don't have a numpad to use.

I've had to change key bindings a few times to make functions accessible to the keyboard that my machine does have.


Oh and I am left handed as well. I've always made do with right handed equipment. It isn't so bad once you get used to it.

At some point in the previous millenium, it became a standard feature in video games to allow users to remap their keybindings.
I suggest making use of this feature, if only as a temporary fix to your issue.
