Squeezing 25 keys down to 6
« on: October 29, 2008, 05:33:14 pm »
I'm against littering the keyboard with options, especially if some is more useful then others. Here's my suggested layout for Fortress mode:

Code: [Select]
(z) Main Stats
 - Main Stats
 - Announcements
 - Standing Orders
 - Stocks
   + Kitchen
   + Animals
   + Artifacts
 - Justice
 - Civilizations
   + Trade aggreements

(m) Military

(u) Units
 - Units
 - Management
 - Job units
 - Nobles
 - Rooms

(d) Designation
 - Designation
 - Stockpiles
 - Objects
 - Site Buildings
 - Zones
 - Notes

(v) Viewer
 - Free view
 - Units
 - Buildings
   + Items in buildings
 - Squads
 - Wagon path

(Esc)
 - Help
 - Options
   + Volume
   + Hotkeys
   + 3D viewer
   + Export map
   + Movies
   + Key bindings
 - Save Game
 - End civilization

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

To be honest I'd rather use my mouse instead.
