Oh gosh, we're getting close! :O
I haven't touched Cogmind since an earlier Alpha, not wanting to burn out on it, but I might play again and see what's new ^^

Yeah, I don't have a Mac, and use QWERTY myself (though I do use a non-English OS). For now I'd have to defer this question to our Mac experts, though honestly regardless of OS in the end any non-QWERTY layout is probably going to end up causing trouble. Anyone else have advice on this?
This is on my list of things to investigate for the next build--whether or not I can effectively translate keyboard layouts internally. Cogmind doesn't normally support key rebinds, but I might be able to work around that for specific layouts. Since using the mouse is an alternative I didn't mark it as high enough priority for Alpha 1b, but I'll see what I can do by Alpha 2.
Some other AZERTY players reported their woes as well (here), but in your case it looks like something else Mac-related could be the problem, so maybe someone familiar with the system could offer some advice. I haven't used a Mac in like... 20 years :/
Thanks for your response! I think I'll wait until you provide some international keyboard support before stressing over this too much. It's not too much trouble to drag things out of my inventory with a mouse until then

I've gotten the game to run fairly well over wine on OSX! It's not perfect, specifically getting the AZERTY keyboard to play nicely with wine and your game, but it's close. Altogether the keyboard behaves like a fusion between QWERTY and AZERTY at its best.
-First, to note, I am using Wineskin Winery. Under QWERTY, the game runs perfectly, but AZERTY is evil.
-When I've tried setting the Mac driver to override that of X11 (in Wineskin screen options), I lose the use of the Alt key, even when the option is selected to make the Option key behave as Alt. It works wonderfully otherwise.
-When the X11 driver is selected, I can use the Alt key as expected but the number-row behaves oddly. After some testing at an in-game terminal's manual command prompt, where the output of keying down the num-row should be '1234567890', instead it reads as '12345\7 '. The last three numbers '890' the game refused to print and it outputs spaces instead. After some later testing it's apparent that X11 refuses to play nicely at all and keybindings are all over the place.
-When run in Windows natively, the game works as intended.
Of course, being able to use the alt key is not worth losing my sanity over broken keybindings, so I am stuck using the mouse for things that would otherwise let me play the game strictly in keyboard mode. I'd also rather not switch to Windows unless I absolutely had to.
Kyzrati, is there anything I could do to help pinpoint the issue? I'm not really savvy at this and you don't have a Mac, so it might be needlessly difficult, but I'm willing to help.
Edit: The X11 driver option is a mess. The mysteriously vanished '6' key turned up next to backspace somehow, and the contents of that key, which should be '-' and '_' turned out to be on the other side of the keyboard where QWERTY tilde would be. I'm so lost.
