Keyboard Menu Navigation
« on: December 07, 2022, 05:22:07 pm »

While keyboard-controlled designations and whatnot still exist (Settings->Game->"Keyboard cursor enabled", for those looking for it), menus still seem to strictly require the mouse to navigate. Might it be possible to also add keyboard navigation to menus?

Seconded. While some menus (building placement) have good keybinds, some are lacking. Like there's a keybind for opening stockpile menu.... But then you need to click the button to start placing. You can open the work orders menu with a keybind, but then need to click the add button, THEN click the search bar.

The UI is almost there, just needs more polish and re-adding of cut features.

Also you need to have the keybinds memorised and if you don't then you are screwed because they don't show unless you rollover.

When selecting items from a list for building, the ability to press <Enter> to choose an item, and arrow keys to navigate up and down through the list would save a lot of time.

Or is that the keyboard cursor navigation I apparently missed?
