After doing so much texture testing in Arena, I finally broke down and created what I believe to be the best possible TES:Arena key layout for Dosbox.

TES:Arena Remapped is a custom mapper.txt file to modernize Arena's controls while maintaining the ability to easily enter text.

FEATURES

• Full WASD movement controls (arrow key and numpad movement unaltered)
• Slide left and right keys (Q,E)
• Dedicated World Map, Long Jump, and Quick Cast keys
• Most keys moved for ease of access and to mirror modern Bethesda games (e.g. quick cast is C and ready weapon is F)
• While L ALT is held down all keys revert to original keys for entering text. Releasing L ALT returns them to the new control scheme.
• Handy keyboard JPEG showing the new controls (also linked below).

I have uploaded the file on both Nexusmods and Moddb and they are pending approval. Once approved, I'll add the links here. Here is an image of the keyboard layout... https://www.dropbox.com/s/geeh4sx6700cmo0/Arena%20Modified%20Control%20Layout.png?dl=0

P.S. It works REALLY well.
