hammer controls?

how can I change hammer controls?
e.g, instead of using the "up" button, you use the right shift button and get the same effect.
long story short, my laptop's up button is broken. and I need to change the controls :|

AFAIK, this is all hard-wired into the code. However, there is software out there that lets you change the function of keys on your keyboard.

But really, get a new computer! Not only will it have a working keyboard, if you buy a decent one you'll also get rid of the multi-day compile times you posted about earlier.

You can also press Z. It gives you mouse control until you press Z again. Get's frustrating quickly though. I think you should do what the that post ^ said

I want to change keys on hammer, not on the computer

I know. I would LOVE to get something other than this peice of junk, but it would have to be a <Holiday Name Here> present or something. and my birthday's just come and gone X(
unless there's a good computer for ?100 or less, there is no way to get one X(

So buy a $10 keyboard and plug it into your laptop?

I have an alphasmart for a keyboard, but it's so hard to switch between the mouse on the laptop and the keyboard on the neo X(

Uhhh, This is not permanent. Just have the software open while you are using hammer. (not sure what the software is, or how it works)
