Hi,
Reposting from Discord as requested.
How viable would it be to add [SPACE] as a hotkey to continue to the actual combat for things like the crew combat screen (when you're selecting which of your crew will enter combat and their positions)?
Other hotkey requests:
Go from the map screen (current hotkey [2]) back to the orbit screen or landing zone. Currently you can use [3, 4] from ORBIT ONLY to land on a planet, but if you're already orbiting and you hotkey to the map with [2] you are unable to return to landing without moving mouse to corner. Suggestion would be to either enable [3, 4] from the map screen (assuming you are orbiting a planet,) or to have current map hotkey [2] toggle between map and (previous screen.)
Victory/encounter screen menu. Currently, [SPACE] will retreat if it is an option during a ship encounter, and it will "continue" if that is an option. However, other encounter dialogues have no hotkey and require clicks. Suggestion would be to enable [NUMPAD] and rank the menu choices from top to bottom, #1-#9, and only require clicks if menu options exceed this number due to talents or other special circumstances.
Bonus points if the corresponding number shows in a semi-opaque overlay over each dialogue choice to indicate which number should be pressed at a glance. (E.g. with Orchestrated Salvage, if it's rank 3 on the list of selectable options it would have a little _3_ in subscript in the bottom left corner of the dialogue rectangle.)
I will reply to this post if I think of other beneficial hotkeys.
Thanks guys!
