Question by DanjelRicci · Feb 03, 2011 at 06:59 PM · editormackeyboardviewportmacbook

"W" key not working in Unity3D Mac OS X

I just installed Unity3D on Mac OS X 10.5.8, but I noticed that W key is not working in the Unity editor (I can't move well the viewport camera with WASD keys). Also, when compiling a game (e.g. Bootcamp demo), the W key is not working too.

How is it possible? Any clue about this?

Does your W key usually work on other programs?

Obviously it is.

Check if W and Z keys are swapped, please.

Never mind, this all got solved by upgrading from Unity 3.1 to 3.2. Still I can't figure out what happened before, since all keys were set to default (no keys were swapped).

Your "W" key is probably damaged, try using it to write or just test it in other programs. if you cant solve the problem just change the WASD keys for the arrows:

UpArrow. DownArrow. LeftArrow. RightArrow.

Good luck Mr. Drayton

You can notice yourself the W key is not broken. Using directional arrows it's the worst way to play an FPS game. And take into account I can't use the FPS camera in the Unity Viewport...

Well the thing about the "W" is funny, youre right. It is really weird that unity does not detect your W key.

Good Luck.

CapsLock depressed? (I've remapped the capslock to be another control key.)

Answer by Norki · Apr 02, 2012 at 01:35 PM

I have the same problem. The "W" key is swapped with the "Z" key, so W does nothing while Z moves the character forward. I also noticed that the numeric digits keys don't work. It happens in the Unity Editor but also with every web-player demo or game.

I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Unity 3.5.0f5.

Any hint on how to fix this?

Do you have an AZERTY keyboard? In Unity Editor, you can swap your keys in Edit > Preferences... > $$anonymous$$eys. In WebPlayer demos, try to change your keyboard config.

And next time you have a question, please Ask a new question or use the "comment" feature. This website is NOT a forum, it is a Question-Answers website. :)
