Zoom-To Announcement
« on: April 09, 2007, 09:23:00 pm »

I think it would be nice if we could zoom to the location where an announcement was occuring. Most of the time I see things like 'A portion of the cavern is collapsing' or whatever and it takes 10 minutes just to find out where, or a dwarf / pet gets struck down. It would ease the pain of having to scan all over the outside and fortress to find events.

I think I've got this written down some where, as well as some stuff regarding previous discussions about setting when it zooms automatically, so it's on the long to-do.

z is overall status right now, I think, on the main screen, although possibly it would be most convenient to zoom from the announcement list (to any announcement)?  There could be a main screen zoom key as well, or perhaps something you link in with the new hotkeys that I'm only using for security cams right now.
