QOL desperately needed!

Post by ChrisGb »

The moving of research projects in the research screen using the up/down arrows is incredibly tedious, inaccurate and sometimes even outright annoying as one often ends up clicking on the one above or below as it moves every time.
If technically feasible please consider adding left-click drag of research projects to move up and down the order.
Like so:

Not sure if you already know or not, but until that is implemented (if ever), there's something that can help a little: if you press Shift when clicking on the up or down arrow, the tech goes at the top (or bottom) of the list.

From my perspective, there's a ton of QoL improvements that are desperately needed in DW2 ;) This one wouldn't even be on my high priority list, but if it's ever implemented, I'll gladly take it.

so yeah, weirdly enough I never bothered to check :mrgreen: , works, still would be great to grab the tag and drag it around rearranging the queue but I guess its a luxury problem 8-)
