Multi-Directional Jumping Fix

You all know what I'm talking about. You know exactly what I mean.

Why can't we hold Up+Right/Left on the arrow keys and be able to jump? Its messed me up on so many worlds and caused me
so many deaths and countless restarts. It's too hard to use WASD and the spacebar with one hand, it's too small.

Please fix this. If you only do one more update to the game, please let this be it.

Re: Multi-Directional Jumping Fix

that is a physical keyboard problem. that literally cannot be fixed, you just need a better keyboard. solution: wasd, or numpad keys. or suck it up. or dont play ee. yeah just do that one.

Re: Multi-Directional Jumping Fix

As Bimps suggested, spread out the keys you are pressing. I usually use wasd for keys I need to hold down, and arrow keys for more complex movements, then it doesn't get too confusing and you don't run into this problem

Edit: I guess you could also rebind keys with something like autohotkey, to something more comfortable which doesn't run in to this problem, but that might be a bit annoying to do

Re: Multi-Directional Jumping Fix

This is an issue with cheaper keyboards arising from the circuitry that connects the keys. It's called "key jamming" or "key masking", and you can't really do much about it other than use WASD. My keyboard for instance allows Right+Up+Jump but not Left+Up+Jump.

If it's enough of an issue, buy a keyboard that supports multi-key rollover, which dictates how many keys can be pressed at the same time and all be registered. Higher quality keyboards support n-key rollover, with which theoretically you can press every key at once and they'll all be registered.
