New to Ren'Py - need advice..

#1 Post by alshapton »

I'm new to this VN engine and I already think its fantactic!

I am wondering if it is possible, that when the user presses the ESCape key, a custom menu/actions etc etc is possible - or is it easily possible to disable the "menu" -i.e. forward/skip etc etc thats displayed?

Thanks in advance......

While you can do it by changing config.keymap, it's not recommended. Having keyboard access to the game menu is important... on a mac with a one-button mouse, it may be the only way to reach the game menu.

Right now, it's not easily possible to add your own keybindings. It's possible, but a hassle... I'll probably wind up coming up with some way of making this easier in the near future.
