1. have you tried to copy that file to your user data folder (usually $HOME/.spring/ )
2. where did you find uikeys++?

For some strange reason, UIkeys++ is looking for uikeys.txt in the root directory, /. So I suppose just ln -s $HOME/.spring/uikeys.txt / (assuming uikeys.txt is there) and it should work.

Ok, I have a french azerty keyboard and I had this problem too.
With the help of anterak & xev I got the keycodes required and solved it.
So, anybody using a fr azerty keyboard should put thoses lines in the "uikeys.txt" file (in the spring dir), it should make the groups thing work.
Code: Select all
bind 0x26 specteam 1
bind Any+0x26 group1
bind 0xe9 specteam 2
bind Any+0xe9 group2
bind 0x22 specteam 3
bind Any+0x22 group3
bind 0x27 specteam 4
bind Any+0x27 group4
bind 0x28 specteam 5
bind Any+0x28 group5
bind 0x2d specteam 6
bind Any+0x2d group6
bind 0xe8 specteam 7
bind Any+0xe8 group7
bind 0x5f specteam 8
bind Any+0x5f group8
bind 0xe7 specteam 9
bind Any+0xe7 group9
bind 0xe0 specteam 0
bind Any+0xe0 group0
please also remove/comment the line
to avoid conflict with "-" (= "6" key here). Simply use the numpad '-' button to decrease speed.
