Keyboard Shortcuts

Post by mrgarrettscott »

I searched the forum and found suggestions for keyboard shortcuts and customizable key bindings. With my first post, I would renew the request for one, the other or both.

The Build Menu, one of the most frequently used and most important menus in the game, has but a single shortcut, 'b' to open the Build Menu. It is time to address it. For me and many others, it is a quality of life issue. Capitalism Lab is still being actively developed in 2017 and the lack of keyboard shortcuts for this essential menu drives me crazy. Compare it opening the file menu of a Windows program and ALWAYS having to use the mouse. ARRRGGGHHHH :x

Please, make it happen!

Did you mean that you want to have the ability to customize the 'b' key to another key?

No sir! After you use 'b' to open the build menu, you are brought to the 'Building Types' menu. From there, it is all mouse action. If I'm about to build five farms at once, I have to access the build menu and click through fives times, once for each farm. What I would rather do is press Ctrl+Shift+F or some customizable key combination that gives me the farm I want without clicking through menus. Since the game wasn't designed as a traditional 'Windows' program, I imagine it wouldn't be easy to do.

You may hold the [Shift] key to build more firms of the same type. Please see the attached screenshot.
