[beelee]

@prastle Heh heh No Worries Brother : ) Nothing to be sorry about : )

[redrum]

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).

[beelee]

Awesome job redrum ! I dig full screen : )

[prastle]

@beelee we had it in 1.8 Nice eh?

[beelee]

@prastle heh heh I never knew that. Tried using these things last night < > but didn't work for me. Yea is way sweet

might need to speed up my scroll speed now

[beelee]

New keys work great ! A quick observation. Although I'm sure I'll get used to it, having PUs listed first instead of "Tech Tokens" in "Resources" would be better imo.

Having the PU number right next to the Player name would be easier to access at a glance. I know the bottom bar lists them in that order so probably why it's done the way it is.

As I said, not a big deal, just a thought.

[beelee]

@beelee maybe one could "Bold" the first number and have the (parentheses) ones stay the same ? On Resources ?

Just seems, for a quick glance, some sort of differentiation would be nice. (can't believe I spelled that right the first time. Sorry :))

Hope I'm not sounding negative. : ) Because I'm using all the Commands : )

@beelee The order of the resources is determined by the XML. Which map were you looking at that has techTokens listed before PUs?

Bolding the first number (amount) is an interesting idea. We'll see what other feedback users have before iterating too much more on this.

[beelee]

@redrum right on. I was on the global 40 game. I'll tweak the xml. Thanks

[beelee]

really digging these hot keys. Want to suggest one more: ctrl-Leave. Instead of exiting completely ctrl-q mode, it'd be nice to just leave and still have triplea running. Ctrl-l is already taken, so we can't use that, but should be able to figure something out. Ctrl-d maybe ? As in Done ? yea, well, maybe not.

Anyway, when testing, I leave a lot but don't exit. Would be cool to do it via keyboard

Wow. Sometimes i wonder if I can be any stupider. Ctrl-q does the leave game thing already. For some reason i can't delete this post. Probably because I deserve to be publicly shamed heh heh.

Anyways, disregard and delete if you want. : )

[General_Zod]

@beelee Lol, fyi. You can edit it further or ask a mod to delete it.

[prastle]

@beelee HeHe All good Bee Hepp's continuously enjoys pointing out when I have done something dumb as well.

[beelee]

I've noticed when i go Full screen some units will highlight.

Not a huge deal because it eventually goes away but it is a little distracting. Just thought I'd mention it since it's probably not intended behavior.

[redrum]

@beelee Guessing it is picking up the 'F' click as well as 'CTRL+F'. As 'F' is used to highlight units that have remaining moves. Might need to change the full screen hotkey.

[beelee]

@redrum wonder if it'd be better to change "f" ? That's been around for a while and would probably annoy some people that use it though.

Probably cause same problem unless it used a unused letter/character ?

[redrum]

@beelee Decided to change full screen hotkey to "CTRL+Z". PR: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/3345

[beelee]

@redrum Awesome Ctrl Z is like a "infinity" type thing. Very intuitive lol. It just keeps going Good Action

[beelee]

@redrum why does ctrl a = ctrl c now ? I saw something about it a while back but don't remember.

The preRelease

[redrum]

@beelee Because I wanted to make ctrl+A add attackers to the battle calc.
