Summary

0003497: incorrect string entry keybindings

Description

interface.txt (0.31.16 distribution for OSX, likely others) contains the lines:

[BIND:STRING_A123:REPEAT_SLOW]
[KEY:}]
[BIND:STRING_A124:REPEAT_SLOW]
[KEY:?]

where it should read:

[BIND:STRING_A123:REPEAT_SLOW]
[KEY:{]
[BIND:STRING_A124:REPEAT_SLOW]
[KEY:|]

Resulting behavior is that typing a left brace or vertical bar in a text entry field produces nothing. Typing a question mark brings up help, and inserts a vertical bar. Disregarding the rather confusing (I would say erroneous) behavior that a single keystroke is interpreted to invoke two separate actions, it should insert a question mark, but the STRING_A124 binding apparently overrides the STRING_A063 binding. After the suggested changes, left brace and vertical bar keys insert the appropriate characters into the text field, while question mark brings up help and inserts a question mark.

Steps To Reproduce

Use the affected characters { | ? in a text field, such as setting a custom nickname on the embark screen.

Notes
(0025015) Trouserman (reporter) 2014-07-08 06:49	As of 0.40.01 release, upper 128 characters have been rebound. Many have, like 124, been bound to the question mark key. Typing a question mark in a text entry still brings up help, but inserts character 159 (small script f) instead of a vertical bar. None of these should be bound to question mark.
