Ctrl+S vs Ctrl+X

[Ghrae]

I'm a good boy... sometimes. I try to sit when harvesting or at storage. No point blocking the harvestables or NPC.

 

But sometimes... Alt+S becomes Alt+X.

 

Given how often we want to sit and how rarely we want to exit (let's face it, we don't have a life) can we get rid of Ctrl+X? Instead can we set up text commands: #exit and #quit

 

It produces the same result and is more intentional.

You mean ALT+ S/X

 

i love my alt+x

 

if you don't like it, maybe change it in the el.ini, if such thing is possible

[Faxie]

Allthough this can allready be done with the key.ini file, I like the suggestion. Understanding and editing ini files just isn't for everyone.

 

#exit and #quit are indeed better.

[Ghrae]

Yes I did mean Alt, not Ctrl.

 

And I had tried the key.ini file... but with Sir_Odie's help I see that was doing so wrong.

 

I tried: #K_SIT = ALT x assuming that #K_QUIT was an OPTION and that what was important was the Alt X having a value (other than it's default of quit)

 

But it appears that #K_QUIT / #K_QUIT_ALT are not optional. And that I had to assign them to some other key combination.

 

I'm sure there is a Standard Practice out there. I'm not sure if EL's key.ini method is following it or not. But it seems that a little backwards in use to me... but that could just be me.

I changed my alt x to "use" whatever is in slot 6 (in my case, fruit to eat):

 

#K_ITEM6 = LALT x

 

My quit option is:

 

#K_QUIT = RALT F10

 

It appears that you have to specify right or left alt key.

 

 

Instead can we set up text commands: #exit and #quit

I don't understand this comment. I type #exit or #quit all the time to exit the game, to insure that I save what I did (versus clicking the x at the top right corner of the window).

You could effectively disable the keys by assigning the #K_QUIT and #K_QUIT_ALT keys to non-key name. i.e.

#K_QUIT = NONE

#K_QUIT_ALT =NONE

This gives the two keys a key code of zero which should never actually happen, I guess....

 

versus clicking the x at the top right corner of the window

That does the exit just the same as #exit and the keys, your stuff will be saved just fine.

Poorly worded on my part as it was late at night. I was just suggesting we have the text commands and don't need the short cut that's near another short cut that gets much more usaged

#K_QUIT = NONE

#K_QUIT_ALT =NONE

 

Didn't know we could do that. I like that option best of all. I'll try it tonight - thank you!

Even though i do the exact same thing over and over again i love my ALT+X its been the only way i exit the game for as long as i can remember (no idea how long cos my memory aint going back that far ).

it could be changed to ctrl-S if that's not used yet. so you don't accidently alt-x but rather ctrl-x if you make a mistake. which afaik doesn't log you out.

 

Edited to leave out a mistake ^^

ctrl+s is the spell/sigil window.

ctrl+x doesn't appear to be used unless I a missing something.

first one could've been not submitted right, but a second time after making sure it did get posted right?

 

easiest way to get the buttons changed is through submitting a patch and see if radu likes it

I have looked at moderator logs and admin logs and there is nothing there. I really don't know what else to tell you.
