UI question - how to zoom on a dwarf from the map view?
« on: September 08, 2019, 07:10:41 am »

Fortress Mode. Suppose I see a dwarf on a map and want to check its skills or assigned labors or inventory.

My problem with this is that I can only see the dwarf from the 'k' mode, which opens the View screen. This lets me see the "thoughts and preferences" but not the status. So what I do is:
  • Check the dorf's name, find it in the unit list and 'z'oom from there
  • Open the View from 'k', view 'r'elationships and try to 'z'oom on the original dwarf back from one of their relationships

Both of these are extremely clunky. Is there a shorter way?

Yes. The 'v'iew key is what you're looking for.

Thanks! 'v' indeed does the trick.
