#17363: LOL: Add QWE/ASD movement keys (present in the original French floppy
version)
----------------------------+--------------------------

Priority:  normal           |  Component:  Engine: Kyra
 Version:                   |   Keywords:
    Game:  Lands of Lore    |
----------------------------+--------------------------
 In the original DOS floppy version of Lands of Lore (French release), the
 party can be moved with letter keys, by key position:

 ||= Key (QWERTY) =||= Key (AZERTY) =||= Action =||
 || Q || A || Turn left ||
 || W || Z || Move forward ||
 || E || E || Turn right ||
 || A || Q || Slide left ||
 || S || S || Move backwards ||
 || D || D || Slide right ||

 These keys do not work in the DOS CD version (tested with French / English
 / German GOG release), so it seems to be a difference between the original
 executables.

 In ScummVM, the LoL keymap (LoLEngine::initKeymaps) only binds the
 movement actions to the arrow keys, Home and Page Up. It would make sense
 to add these letter keys as default alternative bindings for all versions,
 since they are more comfortable on laptops without a numeric keypad, and
 they match what at least one original release offered. Binding them by
 physical key position would match the original behaviour.
