keypress display utility
« on: April 14, 2021, 09:34:26 am »
This is suggestion or a question....

There could be a "keypress display" available for players that are creating tutorials (or them that do not know what key they just hit), where the keys are displayed on the edge of the DF window. So a player is making a tutorial on military equipment, they click 'm' 'e'  'U' and those three characters are displayed vertically on the left or right edge and as more keys are hit, they shift off the screen, or something like that.

Does something like this already exist within the DF utilities and 3rd party apps?

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

I don't think anything currently does this, but it would be possible to write a plugin that displays keyboard input on the screen. I suggest you file a feature request at https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues
