Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs In directory sc8-pr-cvs16:/tmp/cvs-serv14959/resources/docs Modified Files: changes.txt Log Message: Added functionality to arrow pad. Left and right arrow now turn left and right by 1/16th of a turn, and up and down arrow are +/-1 warp. Two new key functions, control+[ and control+] to handle the new turn key actions. To turn effectively, one has to hold down the turn key, however if any other keyboard key is pressed during that time, it cancels the key repeat on the turn key, making keyboard turning awkward at best. Completely useless at worst. Does provide the ability to move without a mouse however. Still need the mouse to aim however.
