Combining common keybindings into one

Recommended Posts

with the devs wanting to implement new quality of life changes, I thought i'd suggest the thing i've been wanting for some time now

combining common keybindings into one new keybind (keep the old keybinds also though as they have their uses)

so something like this:

open/close to one keybind

lead/stop_leading to one keybind

load/unload to one keybind

drag/stop_dragging to one keybind

climb_up/climb_down into one keybind

 

would also like an embark/disembark keybinding for both creatures and vehicles

I would suggest an even more invasive approach apart from the ones you mentioned.

 

Combine loads of keybinds into a single one and send the correct action to the server depending on context (i.e. tool activated and what you are mousing over)
e.g:

 

primary_action {
  dig,
  mine_forward,
  forage,
  improve,
  continue,
  ...
}

secondary_action {
  flatten,
  prospect,
  botanize,
  repair,
  ...
}

n-ary_action {
  ...
}

Obviously these should be bindable and some work will have to be done to ensure uniquely available actions (i.e. introducing more tools, add binary modes such as "move-mode" to be able to bind push, pull, turn)

 

On mouse over with a tool selected, add a textual overlay with what contextual actions you can do with what keybind, i.e:
[C] Dig
[X] Flatten
[F] Examine

[Unbound] Pray

 

Then, remove the right-click menu and let MOUSE2 be bound for something more useful :)

TLDR; Yes and remove right-click menu

I like key binds...

I suggested we have a rightclick in menu to combine first 64 in the group, so its similiar to what i want.

 

So a keybind for combining things would be a great add as well.

Binds that toggle such states, especially open/close, would be extremely handy.
