Forage and Use/Light Action Hotkey

Postby rye130 » Sat Oct 22, 2011 7:17 pm

I believe this has been discussed in other topics in the past but never a topic made for it.

Like the harvest and digging hotkeys or whatever it is they are called, there should be ones for foraging (or harvest should work on foragables) and one for lighting kilns/ovens/whatnot.

I like the idea for foragables, but lighting a kiln/oven/whatnot isn't something thats too many clicks...would be nice to have an eating hotkey also(like the fork when feasting)

I don't like the idea for lighting objects, because the way to light them is in their control interface; foragables dont have a control interface (nor do crops), so the harvest action for them does make sense and have precendence. So I do like the idea of having the harvest action hotkey work on foragables. :)

Everything you describe has a control interface. If it didn't, you wouldn't be able to interact with it. What you're thinking of is a container window. ;) :geek:

I have to say, I'd like a hotkey to just be able to change my pointer and click on the object instead of move mouse, right click, move mouse, left click. Technically, I'm already doing it the hard way as those items only have one option so it'd be move mouse, right click, press "1" on keyboard (I constantly forget this works until I read about it again on the forums), and thus by that description, the hotkey for things like foraging and lighting fires already exists. I'm not sure the hotkey thing works for container windows such as the kiln, oven, etc. with a "light" button. If it doesn't, it definitely should.

for the foraging, should just make all 1 option right click menus execute that action like jackard has been saying forever. it's just a client thing, bug boshaw to release the jackui (it rules).

iirc boshaw did a thing for ovens too, not sure exactly how it worked and i think one of his later updates actually broke it.
