Change default keys forever #19

Open renyhp opened 3 years ago

Is there a way to customize keys and then retain this preference?

If not, can this be added? A simple implementation idea would just be to not regenerate ~/.bastetrc if there is already one.

Thanks!

Hello! What do you mean by 'forever'? Persist across several runs of the game? It should already work like that. If it doesn't on your platform, it must be a bug. Please add more information, so we can try to track it down.

Yes, I mean persist across several runs of the application. This is the workflow:

run bastet
customize keys
play a game (customized keys work)
play another game (customized keys still work)
exit via Ctrl+C
run bastet
play a game
the previous setting has been forgotten!

I am running on Xubuntu 20.04.2, with bash and guake.

Ah -- found the reason; apparently they only get saved if you quit using the menu, not with Ctrl+C. I'll see if I can fix it, thanks for the report.

In fact, this probably raises the underlying problem that I don't really see a better way to quit the game while in game. Maybe have a key that quits just like the menu does (which also saves the keys)?
