Preparation screen: / and * to increase item quantity faster
« on: January 16, 2010, 04:55:54 pm »

I don't know whether this has been suggested already or not (because I suck at the search button), but while you're selecting items in the preparation screen, I think it'd be nice if the / and * keys decreased and increased the amount of an item (or animal for that matter) by 5 or 10, saving you from pressing + on Plump Helmets 40 times or more, or other items which you need in large quantities. It's a feature Dwarf Fortress could do without, but I think it'd be nice.

If this has been suggested 27 times already, feel free to link to that thread instead and follow it up with creative flaming.

I'd also like this. I use custom embark settings so I can take more stuff along, and hitting the + key 400 times to get the desired amount of booze is boring.
