ctrl+c and ctrl+b should be just c and b

[YokoZar]

These two keys (go to commander and go to idle builder) are very important to moderate and higher level play. You'll hit them very frequently.

So why, then, do we have c and b do nothing useful by default and require the user to hold down ctrl? In fact c is even worse than useless - pressing it actively harms your game as you have to go in and out of fps mode.

Run SelectionEditor.exe in spring directory, edit the control requirement out of the ctrl+c and ctrl+b selections, then unbind c from fpsing via uikeys.txt, done?

[REVENGE]

More importantly, maybe switching the current ctrl+c and c default bindings would make more sense and be better for noobs?

Run SelectionEditor.exe in spring directory, edit the control requirement out of the ctrl+c and ctrl+b selections, then unbind c from fpsing via uikeys.txt, done?

I'm on Linux I don't have a selection editor. Is there something I can just paste in uikeys.txt?


And, yes, Revenge is completely accurate that I want this to be the default.

It's in selectkeys.txt not uikeys

Control_B AllMap+_Builder_Not_Building_Idle+_ClearSelection_SelectOne+
Control_C AllMap+_Commander+_ClearSelection_SelectOne+

Removing the Control_ might work. I'm not sure. You would still need to do the unbinding though:

unbind any+c controlunit
unbind c controlunit

unbind any+b debug
unbind b debug

[YokoZar]

It's in selectkeys.txt not uikeys

Control_B AllMap+_Builder_Not_Building_Idle+_ClearSelection_SelectOne+
Control_C AllMap+_Commander+_ClearSelection_SelectOne+

Removing the Control_ might work. I'm not sure. You would still need to do the unbinding though:

unbind any+c controlunit
unbind c controlunit

unbind any+b debug
unbind b debug

Confirmed, this works:

In uikeys.txt:
unbind any+c controlunit
unbind c controlunit

unbind any+b debug
unbind b debug

In selectkeys.txt:
B AllMap+_Builder_Idle+_ClearSelection_SelectOne+
C AllMap+_Commander+_ClearSelection_SelectOne+
Control_A AllMap++_ClearSelection_SelectAll+
Control_R AllMap+_Radar+_ClearSelection_SelectAll+
Control_V AllMap+_Not_Builder_Not_Commander_InPrevSel_Not_InHotkeyGroup+_SelectAll+
Control_W AllMap+_Not_Aircraft_Weapons+_ClearSelection_SelectAll+
Control_X AllMap+_InPrevSel_Not_InHotkeyGroup+_SelectAll+
Control_Z AllMap+_InPrevSel+_ClearSelection_SelectAll+

EDIT: you need the default things in custom selectkeys.txt as well.

Selectkeys should run fine under WINE.

Selectkeys should run fine under WINE.

It has to be downloaded though :)

Still, makes me feel good when Wine works -- I'm the Wine maintainer for Ubuntu
