Title: Item movement ergonomics
Post by: drah on August 02, 2007, 01:41:37 am
Hope this hasn't already been posted, if it has, apologies in advance... just with Vengeance working on inventory.. I thought it was worth mentioning...

I notice when I'm smelting gold and making ingots, there's a lot of clicking involved, even just to select quantities, which in many cases is a single ore (for making an ingot).

It'd make things easier if ctrl+click picked up one item from the stack and shift+click picked up all... with both bypassing the quantity window.

It may not sound like much but when you add up all the clicks and all the mouse-movements to move to the slider accurately, etc... it equates to a lot of unnecessary clicking and cognitive processing.

Just a thought.

I'm sure there's probably a way to make it easier, but if you equate with making more ore than getting tired, yeah it should be easier to make; something they've probably taken a look at.

Did you know that you can middle-click on stacks to just pick the whole lot up? (it bypasses the quantity window)

And i was going to propose shift+LMB ;o
Anyway, it may be still a good idea for people without MMB

PS needs up to date manual ;P or it is there already?

And for those of us with middle buttons and scroll wheels that don't work in the game.. Add this to the options for the mouse.
