When setting up a game, the ability to go to maps that start with 'h' by clicking in the map selection field and pressing 'h'.

or any of the other 25 letters in the English alphabet. ;)

Perhaps a key combination would be needed to prevent conflicts. ex: press 'alt-h'.

This exist.
Shift + <what you said>

Does there exist any idea how to communicate this behaviour to the common user ?



Try Megaglest! Improved Engine / New factions / New tilesets / New maps / New scenarios

In both version of MG, I tried shift + <key>  and it didn't work for me.

I guess I will need detailed instructions on using a key combination. :\

If you want a map that starts with the letter T, shift+t and click the next map button

Imo only 2 ways:
- on the "keyboard setup" list,
- in the hints.
