Item movement ergonomics
« on: August 01, 2007, 06:41:37 pm »
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?



What you can failure tommorow, failure today.

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.
