Keyboard shortcut to advance troops

Postby maxfaraday on Wed Feb 08, 2012 10:45 pm

Concise description:
  • Just like you can type "b" for "begin turn", etc...
    Maybe "m" for "move", or "i" for "invade"?

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • It'd be just a minor improvement to the site, but make it more user-friendly, and it's easy to do

Does that work if you increase/decrease the number of troops you want to advance?

nope.

Holding "alt" and clicking at the same time advances all remaining armies.

You can use a mouse wheel for that.

Well the point is not to use the mouse, that's why keyboard shortcuts are for.

You'd think that the Mouse Wheel would be faster than the keyboard shortcut :-s

Probably, but I play on my laptop and use a touchpad.
Besides, like I said, it wouldn't take more than 30 seconds to code.

A mouse wheel is faster and a key short cut would be nice, but likely not high on the list. Takes more than 30 seconds to make it work properly.

I don't think so.
The template/algorithm/whatever you want to call it, is already here:

event(E) triggers action(A)
event(key "b" was pressed) triggers action(begin turn)...

One line to write, nothing more.
