View Furniture Descriptions From Look (k) View
« on: May 15, 2016, 05:05:44 pm »

It would be very nice if we could view the descriptions of built furniture (especially statues, etc.) directly from the look (k) menu, instead of having to switch to view items in buildings (t) and go through several submenus. There is so much detail in this game but so much of it is inconvenient to access.

This would be helpful!

At worst, I'd like to see the K, Q and T menus be choices on each other (e.g., pressing 'k' on the 'q' menu leaves the cursor in the same spot but now looKing at the tile).

That might be even more useful than my suggestion. I would add the V menu as well though.

A stable cursor might do.
