Keybinding menu

Postby Farmsletje » 14 Feb 2017, 06:02

When you want to change to a hotkey that's already in use you get the message: "This key is already mapped to another action, are you sure you want to change it?" Would it be possible to add info about which action that is?

The keybinding menu doesn't have the best display (...) so it's a real fucking nightmare if you want to swap some hotkeys but have no clue what you might've affected.

Until a dev takes care about your request you can take a look into your game.prefs file. (Hint: make a backup of it before doing any changes ;) )

Next game patch will probably revolutionize the options menu and keybindings menu completely to a more modern standard, work is already done on this :P

Is there a preview or a beta or something? ;)

Icedreamer and I are working on refactoring keybinding system and its UI such that you will be much easier to find keybindings using a search box (keys/actions) and I will implement more details when there is conflict with already mapped keybinding.

Any progress on this? I wanted to do some key rebinding but it's still a serious nightmare.

And also, would it be possible to assign the same hotkey to different tasks? For example: I've got "f" binded to building power generators but it's impossible to also bind it for the ferry command, even though there should be no conflict.
