Steam Release: Accessibility Via Hotkeys
« on: December 08, 2022, 02:51:51 am »

I have memory issues (we think due to autism/ADHD), and one of the great things about old-style DF was the way the hotkeys were right there. I could fly through menus and build options with a glance. The new updated UI on the Steam version lacks these hotkeys, and seemingly any setting to include them. Rolling over each icon takes exactly as much time as clicking on it, and I can't recall the hotkeys for long enough to settle into game flow. I adore a lot of things about the new UI, but this slows my play-speed down to a horrible crawl that I cannot endure. Please include options to permanently show the hotkeys for buttons on the screen, to make the beautiful new version accessible.

+1 from here too.

Something I truly loved about the old UI was that it pretty much always listed what hotkey does what.
