    Solution n°1 : Stop being French
    Solution n°2 : the arrow keys work just fine ;)
    Oh and I forgot :

    Solution n°3 : Before playing switch your language configuration to English, so that Windows will see your AZERTY as a QWERTY

    I strongly agree with that one.

    (i am french too, by the way, before someone calls me a racist jerk or anything).

    well arrows are situated too close from the mouse and it is basic settings that should come with the release of the game.

    solution 3 is a bit annoying to be honnest...that could do the trick i agree but i'm still thinking that these basic settings should be enabled within the game.

    as for solution 1 i'm Belgian so i 've never started being French lol

    Well I won't say anything, because I don't know wether your wallon or not (I don't know whether the flamand havec a french keyboard but I doubt it though).

    But saying to a French that your Belgian is, if any, no excuse ;) (hence Astro's answer ;) )

    Unfortunately, we Flemish people are forced to use the French layout too. I asked about this in the W&G-forums too and they basically said it was too much extra work to include the keyboard configuration system. They also said they might look into a solution, but well, not for now apparently.

    Here are the (quite vague) posts about it: http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=118221&postcount=17 and http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=118233&postcount=21

    Hello ! Here's a tip for you !

    Hé mais ! Pourquoi je cause à un compatriote en anglais, moi ? :p
    Pour basculer d'un mode AZERTY a un mode QWERTY et inversement, tu as juste à appuyer simultanément sur les touches "MAJ (la touche avec la flèche vers le haut) + Alt".

    Voilà, en espérant que ton confort de jeu s'en trouvera amélioré.
    Ciao l'ami ;)

    Tiens quelle coincidence: je viens juste de poster la même méthode dans le sujet dont j'ai posté le lien plus haut.


    Sorry if talking a foreign language here is perceived as rude. Won't do it again ;).

    Merci pour l'astuce les gars ! Cela simple plus pratique avec les touches WASD que les touches directionnels... Le système pour avancer avec la souris étant lui vraiment pas génial.

    I think with the free version of "Xpadder" you can remap the keyboard (Or any joystick/pad). The advantage of the program is, that it detects the application you are using. So you won't have to switch the layout every time.

    (Also I can recommend you to play with a wiimote + nunchuk, I posted scripts for that here in the forum.)

    To speak in a more simple language for you:

    Je kunt zoals aangegeven met Alt-shift je klavier veranderen als je een tweede klaviertaal hebt geinstalleerd (Windows installeerd meestal naast het aangesloten type toetsenbord ook een tweede, vaak engels QWERTY).

    Anders kun je bij "toetsenbord instellingen" in windows zelf amerikaans of engels toevoegen als klavier.

    hierna volstaat dus een simpel L-ALT + L-Shift en je toetsenbord heeft ineens een andere indeling. je kunt dus nu ADXW gebruiken (B, L, O, R) i.p.v. WDXA.

    nog makkelijk is een externe muis gebuiken zodat je niet in de knoop komt met de pijltjes-toetsen.

    Aangezien er maar weinig landen zijn die daadwerkelijk AZERTY gebruiken als klavier, kan ik me voorstellen dat hier niets mee gedaan is in de game, zeker ook omdat er nog 2 andere besturings mogelijkheden zijn.

    Hope that helps (to return to the native board language)
