GnyoR Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Currently hotkey for summoning building tab is 1~0 and - and =, so only 12 building tab is connected to hotkey setting. But we have 14 building tabs now, and there is no way to connect last 2 tab of building to any hotkeys cause there is no option for that. I understand that there is no more keyboard space for more building tab over "=", but even when I personally replaced the hotkey settings for "7 ~ =" with "Shift+ 1~6" which allowed some room for me to add shortcut key for 'Shipping' and 'Rocketry' Tab, still I have no option to do that. Well, Rocketry tab doesn't bother much since they're not very frequently used, but every time I mouse-click on Shipping tab, I long for hotkey.

LeftyRighty Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I've never seen the point to those hotkeys, it's not like you can hotkey select something in that menu so you have to move the mouse down to that area of the screen anyway, so exchanging a mouse click for a hotkey press seems a little redundant... or am i missing something?

Well, you're right about it's inevitable to mouse-click the building icon anyway. But clicking building tab icon in bottom bar every time is quite frustrating experience since they're smaller and all similar. Actual building selecting icon is much better since they're bigger and arranged in better way. I even never give a look on bottom bar icon except when I have to build something from 13th or 14th building tab. I feel like right side of the keyboard is quite hard to avoid mistyping with left hand, and that's why I put all the frequently used hotkeys in the left side of the keyboard. When the hotkey settings are optimized, gameplay becomes much more comfortable and efficient. (for example, I always mistyped "O" with "P" when I had to rotate the building, resulting in frustrating experience of kicked out to priority setting overlay from building overlay. Such thing never happened when I changed rotating to "R" and priority to "Z") Which is, with appropriate hotkey settings, you don't even have to look down at the bottom bar with row of small and similar icons, and wasting your concentration finding right one among them. And I think it is abnormal in sense of consistency that there is even no option for setting hotkey for them while all the other building tab has one.
