I want keyboard shortcuts !!!

[HyperQuantum]

Hi.

The topic says it all. When in combat you need to do things as fast as possible, and clicking on several icons with the mouse is too slow. At least some shortcuts should be present for basic things like attacking and stopping (especially for Golems as they get 'tired' when walking, so it's important to stop them quickly when they're heading the wrong way).

I agree with this. I think that shortcuts would be great!

PRESS P AND U WILL TURN ON PAUSE! TO STOP ANY UNIT, PRESS A HAND, AND IT WILL IMMEDIATELY STOP ANYTHING THEY R DOING (SEE: REACTION SPEED)

What happens if it's PvP though? Meaning, multiplayer. I cannot pause in multiplayer, and it really is a "Real-Time-Strategy" game, so, uh... wouldn't it be better to have hotkeys? And I know that there are several hotkeys, but a place where you can customize it, like in the configurator, would be pretty neat.

Once I have XML and C++ under my belt, I'll be able to do this, but until then... anyone have any ideas?

I've already got it worked out (although might be different now) and partly implemented in my own older version of Glest but changing all the hotkey values in the source to work with an external configuration might take a while and slow game time/loading. Just comes down to whether you think it will be worth the effort.

Totally awesome! Thanks again Hailstone! Once I figure out everything, I'll integrate it into my Glest game. Sweet!
