Hmm... why can\'t you turn it off with the same button you turned it on with?

Of course you can, but I agree with Jaakon that it\'s more intuitive and easier to stop auto running when you press a direction key... If I run past something that catches my eye, my first instinct would be to press a direction key to turn towards it, not to remember what I pressed for auto-run and press it again.  Or even if not the direction keys (so I can turn while still auto-running), I think pressing Back to stop would be pretty logical.

Besides, it should be a simple 5 lines of code or so to implement :) (haven\'t looked at any of the source code yet, but this one really should take all of 10 minutes).

I hope CB has it :)

perhaps, but not all directional key\'s
i would like to be able to steer while autorunning

atm pushing the back button while running makes you run really funny :D

but in all i\'d agree with Moogie on this.

Chaotic mind, chaotic mind, where did i hide the point of what i was telling.....
