Hello,I use a Dvorak keyboard, so the default keyboard maps are of little use.  I've tried several times to use Options/controls/movement keys  windows keys, and hotbutton keys to reconfigure, and it seems to work for a while.  Then if I ever open up the window again and change another key, and hit save.  They entire keyboard map resets and I have to start over.I tried to copy my eq2_keymap_other.ini and renamed it eq2_keymap_Dvorak.ini then went inside and changed a bunch of keys.  Unfortunately,  the drop-down menu for keyboard layouts does not show my new file as an option, even after resetting the client.Also, in the keyboard mapping assignments.  Many of the keys are named. / = SLASH for example.  What are the names the game recognizes for [ ] and ?  Is . named PERIOD or just .?  The open and closed brackets and the dvorak equivalents of - and =.  I switched / to because the first I use too often and it keeps messing me up.  I didn't see them mentioned anywhere else in the file.Edit- I also tried editing the other.ini directly too, but when I selected it via the dropdown menu, nothing happened.Thank you.

If you go to this thread, <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=40833" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...?topic_id=40833</a>  it shows the method needed to save custom keyboard setting changes and allows you to have it show up in the drop down list. Its helped me when I change something and forget the steps needed to make it permanent.
