The new military screen is 100% mouse enabled!
« on: April 07, 2010, 07:21:12 pm »

Over in the Dwarf Therapist thread, I just read that the new military screen is 100% mouse enabled, and it is absolutely true. You can click on squads, uniforms, dwarves, schedules, and anything else to select them, and on the keyboard shortcuts at the top to activate them.

This completely revolutionized my usage of the military screen. It seems to be relatively unknown at this point, so I'm just trying to get the word out.

For me, it doesn't work in full screen, only in windowed mode (neither does mouse painting of burrows). Somewhat odd, since the mouse support on the designation screen works perfectly. I assume it's a bug that will be fixed soon.

I think, from the various dev talks and such, that most of the new screens are mouse-enabled.

Even some of the not-so-new-but-revamped, like the Nobles screen. Not that there's a lot to click on there, but the mouse does work :)

Mouse takes longer than just clicking a key, maybe thats becaus I played DF when It never had mouse support and It made my fingers naturally fast at typing?

Nah, you're right. Now if he'd add full-screen support for the rest of the menus...
