Edwige, As Jonne has stated:
*> **please add feature request to google code repo* Just to clarify and be a bit more specific... you can click on the link below, and make a feature request. http://code.google.com/p/realxtend-naali/issues/list Please start your new "issue" with "[Feature Request] Please Add the ability to change shortcut keys" (or something of that nature) as the subject/issue title. Then write a detailed description of what you would like to see added to Naali. (Please be reasonable, but be as detailed and specific as possible). <http://code.google.com/p/realxtend-naali/issues/list>Depending on the number of hours it would take to do, and depending on how hard it would be to implement, and also depending on the amount of resources available (whether we have extra developers, etc.) and depending on the number of requests (or even the priority) for a particular feature it could be implemented fairly quickly, or it may not even be implemented at all. It really depends on the amount of resources it would take to do what you are asking, and it boils down to time (and resources). Developers have a long list of things that they need to get done and your request may be a pretty "low priority" request. So it may (or may not) ever get done. There are several things you can do to "fix" this. You can either volunteer to add this feature yourself (if you are a programmer). Or you can find some programmers that would be willing to volunteer their time to implement this new feature request, you can hire a programmer to do the work for you (contract for hire) to implement the feature into Naali, or you can simply post your feature request and wish (or hope) that maybe it might eventually happen. Again, it all boils down to priority, and the amount of resources that it would take to implement. It may happen, it may not happen. If it's something fairly easy to do, then maybe it might happen. Jonne would know MUCH more than I would, whether this is an "easy to do" request or even the likelihood of something like this being added or implemented in a future release. So view the feature requests as a "wish list" or a "dream sheet" and then don't get mad if it doesn't happen according to YOUR own personal schedule. It could take weeks, months, or even years (or it may not even happen at all, depending on how hard it would be to do). Another option (if it really means that much to you) is to hire a programmer (some programmers are "for sale") and see if they'd be willing to implement the features that you are specifically asking for. It happens, I've seen individuals that do work (for hire). I believe Adam Frisby, and some of the other developers sometimes do work on a contract basis. So if this is something you REALLY want (and you want it "now") then consider talking to one of the developers, or possibly contracting to have someone add this specific feature for you. If you can live without, and are simply just making a simple "this would be really cool or nice to have..." feature request, then maybe a developer will add this to the project "To Do List" but it may end up being a pretty low priority task. Just learn to accept this, and learn to be patient. I've spent almost a year and a half watching several features that I have requested over the years slowly get added, and I'll probably be waiting another year (or even two or maybe even three) before other features (such as Hydrax, Caelum, or SkyX) get implemented. It takes time. All you can do is make a suggestion, and depending on how hard it would be to implement, and depending on the resources available (how many developers there are and whether a developer has the time to dedicate to adding this feature). So just make the feature request, and learn to be patient. The best thing you can possibly do, is try to find one or two extra developers, and try to get them to join or help the project (by volunteering their time to help the core developers with writing code and implementing some of these additional features into the code base). In the meantime, you can either hire a developer (on a contract basis), or you can learn to use a keymapper. ;-) Make your feature request here: http://code.google.com/p/realxtend-naali/issues/list <http://code.google.com/p/realxtend-naali/issues/list>The team will probably look your request over, and it may get brought up during a discussion, and it possibly could get added to a future feature list. Jonne would probably know much more about this than I would, and some of the other core Naali dev's could probably tell you better whether this feature is likely to happen (or not). I hope this helps, and please understand that Naali is a VERY VERY young project, and it's still in the PRE-Alpha stages. Just 2-3 months ago, I never would have even dreamed that Naali would even be where it is today. A year ago, Naali didn't even exist. So just be patient, and slowly we all hope that Naali will evolve into the "de facto" viewer for RealXtend, OpenSim, and possibly even Second Life. ;-) The ReX crew have done some extremely amazing things, and just by looking at the work performed on Naali, it's quite impressive, and very innovative. All you can do is be patient, and learn to buy beer. Try to send Jonne a case of his favorite beer (or favorite beverage) once a week, and maybe you'll end up with a "configurable" key mapper in a future version of Naali. ;-) *> I am using Realxtend viewer (0.42)* This is an old viewer (based on the old legacy SL viewer) and it's highly unlikely that development will ever continue on this old 0.42 viewer platform. Naali is the future, and almost all development efforts are going into Naali. So any features that you request, will likely only be offered in a future version of Naali. Again, I hope this helps...
