| Summary | 0011443: Keyboard Shortcuts | ||||
| Description | There should be keyboard shortcuts to access every building. They could be of the simple form 1-0 for first the menu/row/item. However, the second row of the resources menu has 11 entries, so I don't know what to do with "sunstone" and it is a little hard to remember. I think the Warcraft/Starcraft method would be great. Each top level menu gets a single letter keybinding based on their name. They don't have one now, but it could be in a tooltip. Once a menu has been selected, the tiles inside already have names. They could each have one letter underlined representing the keyboard shortcut for it. Then, the user would just have to press a few keys to set anything on the mouse cursor. This system would organically teach the user the keyboard shortcuts as play occurs. Those keys would allow an advanced user to play more efficiently and easily. Also, a keybinding for "end turn" would be useful. | ||||

I hope I am not just repeated someone else's suggestion here. I didn't see this on the main menu of things to be worked on. Nor could I find a mantis report on it. |

I'd also like to see the numbers 1-X as hotkeys for expanding the tabs in the sidebar (1-military 2 resources 3 other buildings and so on) With that, less clicks are needed, and less movements with the cursor to the sidebar, wich happens very often that I need to switch between the different tabs just to get some tooltip. So using the numbers to expand the tabs would be more confortable. But as the shift key allows multiple placements, I don't need to add hotkeys to each building. So my stance is divided :( EDIT: Maybe adding again the numbers 1-X to select the buildings/etc in the same order on the first row of expanded tab could be fine too. This is: 1 1 to have the barrack ready to place 2 1 to place wood cutter... Maybe some icons (moonstone etc) and The second row would remain without shortcuts but I could live with that |
