Improve Hotkeys

alkexr

@wc_sumpton I would go further and add a hotkey to calculate all pending battles and display win % as a green - yellow - red (% dependent) number over the territories.

@alkexr

It would be a very cool to do all combat moves and see generic win % for each attack, over each territory. Either with a hotkey or automatic.

Well, some good ideas here though I mostly wanted to focus on hotkeys for existing functionality first. Updating the first post to show what I'll look to add in the short-term vs some longer term ideas.

Updated short-term list:

Proposal

Remove WASD as this already conflicts with Ctrl+S and I don't think is used much
Add Ctrl+hotkey for each tab panel
-- Ctrl+A - Actions
-- Ctrl+P - Stats (rename to Players)
-- Ctrl+R - Economy (rename to Resources)
-- Ctrl+O - Objectives
-- Ctrl+N - Notes
-- Ctrl+T - Territory
Add Ctrl+(-/+) to zoom out/in
Ctrl+E - Toggle edit mode
Ctrl+H - Toggle history mode
Ctrl+P - Toggle show politics panel
Ctrl+L - Toggle unit help list

@redrum

Add Ctrl+(-/+) to zoom out/in - In best case this one is very hard to do with left hand if at all. I suggest Ctrl+Z (-) / Ctrl+X (+).

Ctrl+T is not useful for left hand. Can we make it Ctrl+Q?

Ctrl+C - toggle all existing panes on/off seems very useful.

Having coded to letters is nice, but if they aren't helpful, I would skip letter coding and go for usefulness.

Or ability to customize from default hotkeys would be great.

I like the resource tabs update mostly from this PR. And the others are nice too.

But I have my doubts on the ctrl+/- (zoom) since its a 2 handed action. Wont be super useful this way. Now ctrl+1 and ctrl+2 or F keys would be nice (left hand actions).
