Default controls are incompatible with AZERTY keyboards

[Nekzuris]

I know I can edit them in GameData\FreeIva\settings.cfg but it would be a nice QoL improvement to have an automatic keyboard layout detector.

@Nekzuris I think the best way to do this would be to have a secondary config for AZERTY, and then select between them based on the detected layout. Can you create a config that works, using the same structure in the freeiva settings.cfg?

Yes, you only need to swap W ↔ Z and A ↔ Q, to detect it, you should check CURRENT_LAYOUT_SETTINGS = Azerty.cfg in the main settings.cfg

Somehow .cfg are not supported here, so it's like that:

settings.cfg

FreeIvaConfig
{
	name = FreeIvaConfig
	
	// Key bindings
	// See here for key and joystick button names: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/KeyCode.html
	UnbuckleKey = Y
	OpenHatchKey = F
	ModifierKey = LeftAlt
	ForwardKey = Z
	BackwardKey = S
	LeftKey = Q
	RightKey = D
	RollCCWKey = A
	RollCWKey = E
	UpKey = LeftShift
	DownKey = LeftControl
	JumpKey = Space
	
	// Movement multipliers
	ForwardSpeed = 1
	HorizontalSpeed = 0.75
	VerticalSpeed = 0.75
	MaxAcceleration = 4
	MaxDecelerationGrounded = 5
	MaxDecelerationWeightless = 1
	JumpForce = 1.5
	WalkableSlope = 75
	YawSpeed = 360
	PitchSpeed = 360
	RollSpeed = 100
	RollAcceleration = 360

	// other options
	ShowTutorial = true
	EnableCollisions = true
	BoardingMode = Always // whether or not the kerbal starts unbuckled inside the hatch when boarding from EVA.  possible values: Always, FromThroughTheEyes, Never
}

I also change UnbuckleKey to B in my game because I think it makes more sense with "board/buckle" but Y is fine too.
