Delete Burrow Key
« on: February 28, 2011, 05:24:45 pm »
Please change the burrow delete key to some other less commonly used key. I have accidentally deleted burrows many times by forgetting to push escape twice before hitting the 'd' key for designations.

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.

Here's a temporary fix
« Reply #2 on: February 28, 2011, 05:31:55 pm »
I completely agree that this should be the default setting, I just wanted to post the fix for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.  I know it has been posted before.

Open /data/init/interface.txt and find where it says
[BIND:D_BURROWS_DELETE:REPEAT_NOT]
[KEY:d]

Remove the [KEY:d] part and replace it with [SYM:4:d] and you'll have to push alt+d to delete burrows from now on, which isn't something you'll hit by accident.  You should end up with this:

[BIND:D_BURROWS_DELETE:REPEAT_NOT]
[SYM:4:d]

While you're at it, do the same for notes.  I don't delete them very often, but if you screw up, it's hard to mark your levers again:

[BIND:D_NOTE_DELETE:REPEAT_NOT]
[SYM:4:d]

EDITS:  Made this a little easier to read, hopefully.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Thanks!

I put it on the wiki, too.

So many people have suffered from this problem that we ought to make it easier for people to find the information.  It's a really simple change, after all.
