This survey is about kMoria (Moria ported to PalmOS), part of the Roguelikes for PalmOS project hosted at SourceForge.
kMoria has a lot more possible actions than iRogue or iLarn. Currently, each hardware button's list of possible actions is the same. I would like to support binding for a larger set of actions, but you may have noticed when you are setting the bindings that the list already barely fits on the screen. So, maybe I can give each hardware button a different list... e.g. if no one binds "calculator" to "north", leave "north" out of its list, and put in "change font" or whatever else that people would find more useful than "north". How can I find out whether no one binds "calculator" to "north", and what bindings people want to keep? That is your job - answer this survey and then I will know.
This survey looks basically just like your Hardware Buttons form in kMoria, except that the n/s/e/w are mashed together, and there are a couple of new choices. Let me know what bindings you use now, or what bindings you would use in your ideal world.
