[FIXED] Crash in tutorial, in the bit where it says "Slide F1 - F12"

I'm unsure what to do here. I type the sentence, it completes. Then the slide message appears, and indeed when I press and hold F12 something happens. The machine slides off to the right, and when it goes off-screen the game crashes, the error mentioning that some GUI coordinates became invalid. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? :)

Howdy: The idea is to "slide" from the F1 key through F12, as though performing a manual carriage return on a typewriter.

But you're right: F12 pushing off the edge is a bug. It's fixed in the next build, already (I'll upload it tonight aftee stitching up a few others).

Thanks for taking the time to ask.

Ah, thanks! That actually makes a lot of sense.

I don't have my function keys mapped to their regular place (organized them in a numpad configuration) so performing that motion never crossed my mind. Also, I'm typing on a split ergonomic board, so I can't technically perform a continuous slide over the function keys even if I map them back; there's no 12-key rows available on this baby.

Would it be possible to include a fallback option to perform the slide with a single key?

Anyway, I can now progress through the tutorial and enjoy the game. Thanks! Really digging the style of everything.

As of v0.9m (Feb 29th, 2020), players can choose one of three carriage slide options under "options":

F1-F12
1-0
or Q-P.

I hope one of these three is more suitable, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
