no, and that's one of my biggest complaints bout bzflag -- you just have to live with the hardcoded values (or submit a patch that allows you to remap all the keys). I've submitted a bug report / feature request regarding this on the sourceforge site, and have no idea whether it'll be looked into / fixed.

On my keyboard I can, if I pull hard enough, remove the cover of a button from its fitting. If you do this for a few keys you could swap them thus getting the cursor keys on places you like :twisted:

Well it did work on April fool's day one evil day, where I took a keyboard of a colleague, took out all the number keys above the letters and shifted them to the right. The 0 key I then put on the place of the 1.

And no-one could figure out why the accounts where screwed up!
