Minor complaint: Burrow deletion hotkey
« on: February 21, 2011, 08:08:22 pm »

It is WAY too easy to accidentally delete a burrow using the default setting of 'd', because your hand is hovering right over there all the time. I accidentally deleted my 'inside' burrow three times before finally changing the key, and it is really obnoxious to need to re-designate your entire fort >.<

Protip: Burrows can be designate across Z's.  Start at bottom left corner, end in upper right 5 levels higher.

This is already a suggestion thread.

Of course, alt+d is the preffered way of handling this situation, it just requires remembering to rebind your keys every version.  (It's not much of a problem for me, since I already have to rebind up and down to 5 and 0.)
