             Bug #: 766
           Summary: Bind WASD by default
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Odamex
           Version: 0.6-dev
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Client
        AssignedTo: odamex-bug-reporter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: alexmax2742@xxxxxxxxx


I think WASD should be bound by default so to not violate expectations of new
players.  There are a few reasons:

* WASD is nearly ubiquitous.  If someone new boots up Odamex for the first time
and doesn't bother to visit the control setup, WASD ought to do the "right"
thing out of the box.
* People who care enough to use ESDF or arrow keys that strife are probably
likely to visit the control setup screen first thing anyway, since they're used
to the defaults being wrong.
* Doom didn't bind WASD by default, so it doesn't really hurt anything or
interfere with the vanilla config at all.
* Doom on Steam has WASD defaults.  There is a separate executable for classic
controls.
