Steam Version: Hotkeys
« on: December 07, 2022, 05:54:00 pm »

The discord won't answer the damn question, so I fired up this old account (been four years) to ask. Is there a way to get the hotkeys to show up next to the clickable buttons? At the moment I'm having to click everything because my memory isn't good enough to remember them for every menu and it's taking ages and making play tedious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think every single button with a hotkey option has the hotkey listed in the tooltip if you hover the mouse over.

I know that, but that takes takes just as long as just clicking. I'm looking for a way to append the hotkey to being right next to the option at all times, like it is in the original ui.

Interface sprites are all in data/vanilla/vanilla_interface/graphics/images.

Unless some of the buttons are missing, just edit these.

this is one of the understated advantages of the gigantic hotkey screen present in DFclassic ! +1 to the addition of a "hotkey display" toggle in settings.

Looking through it now, looks like it's not gonna be possible. Every single image is the smallest possible size with no wasted space. You can't fit a hotkey onto any of them, and I have no idea how to modify the screen they're placed upon to display the hotkeys next to the icons. I think I'll just post a thread in suggestions.
