Petition for the "0" key

Post by nukkxx5058 »

Hi,

"0" (hide units) is probably one of the most useful function in the game. I'm using it all the time to check terrain, infrastructures, supply routes.

But unfortunately, if I want the units back, I have to go and press the "2" key which is far away so I have to stop watching the screen, find where the damn "2" key is. This is useless effort, a pain and a distraction from the game.

So I would suggest a small change:

Either:
a- A second press on "0" would bring back the units.
or
b- Activate the num pad (because "0" and "2" are adjacent on the num pad.

Given that a) would be the best solution.

No idea if this is a big deal in terms of programming but it would be so cool :-)

Anybody else ?

Yes, A

An oversight with the UI programming?

Default for binary choices should have been 2nd press=undo.

A) had to be an oversight, I fully second this motion.
