I wish it supported arrow keys. WASD is really awkward on a Dvorak keyboard.

People with Dvorak keyboards aren't allowed to play this game.

Not true. If you want to challenge yourself you can play with increasingly obscure keyboard layouts. It's a feature!

Final boss: left ctrl, numpad 3, backslash, and ]. Better use your nose!

[kreldjarn]

Ha! Sorry about that. I wanted to avoid hard-coding keycodes for the sake of legibility so I used 'W'.getCharcodeAt(0) — which unfortunately doesn't work for the arrow keys.

Why not just use constants?

On keyboards for other languages than english too.

Dvorak users love a challenge; That's why they're Dvorak users.

Same problem on Colemak. (although less so thank Dvorak)

Or if you're right-handed.

The arrows are generally used with the left hand anyway since the right hand is on the mouse. There is

that is used the the left handed people I believe.

[kiiski]

Don't left handed people usually keep the mouse on the left side of the keyboard? I've seen some people do that at least.

[Raphmedia]

Some do, but not all. Most mouse ergonomics are made to be right handed, and since learning the mouse & keyboard is a new an alien concept for both left and right handed people, they can simply learn it with their dominant hand on the keyboard.

I wonder if that would make them better at micromanaging RTS games with keyboard shortcuts vs. shooting with the mouse in FPS.

What do you mean? WASD on a Dvorak keyboard is awkward no matter which hand you use.
