Custom key bindings obscure menus
« on: April 24, 2007, 11:30:00 pm »

I have a custom key binding for the secondary page up and down.  On some menus this pushes important information off the screen.

Here is an example on the stockpiles screen: you cannot see the number of reserved barrels

You have a couple of options.

(1) go into data/init/interface.txt.
You'll find something like

code:

[DISPLAY_STRING:SHIFT+PLUS:Shift + =]
[DISPLAY_STRING:MINUS:Minus]


These are the display strings for those bindings, and you can shorten them in that file to whatever you like.

(2) press <tab> to move the menu around.  Option (1) is better in this case, but <tab> will also work in other situations where a binding isn't the problem.
