Key bindings for "Inspect Creature" and "CharSheet" Tabs
Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 12:03 pm
This doubles in a way lukep's previous suggestion and Hachem_Muche's Plenum ToolTip mechanics, but the basic idea is to have easier and more precise access to the important (and most likely lifesaving) info of "Inspect Creature" command.
The reason for the suggestion is the tedium for inspecting the "Talents" tab of an npc, which at present involves:
a. Mouse: Placing the mouse cursor on it's tile --> right click --> left click on the drop down menu --> left click on the "Talents" tab;
or
b. Keyboard: Hitting "l"ook --> navigating to the npc (arrow keys or mouse) --> hitting "Enter" --> hitting twice the down arrow --> triple "Tab" hit.
The suggestion is to bind the 4 tabs of the "Creature Info" screen so that upon hovering with the mouse or selecting with "l"ook the respective tabs can be displayed immediately:(* The "v" key can be replaced by any other unused one)
And in extrapolating, the same can be done for the player's "Character" screen:Thoughts?
