Commander GUI suggestion

Wheeee

So I was thinking about the commander GUI thread in general disc, and I thought, wouldn't it be nice if we could see the hotkey on the button instead of having to mouse over it? This would add to the ease of learning hotkeys, as well as give clues to what each button does.


For example, a small [S] (i think it'd have to be a sprite/overlay since people change their key configs, and you would want a correct shortcut key displayed) in the corner of the button would make it a little more obvious that the icon would be to order "cancel/stop", etc.

Agreed. HoN does this with its buy menu: <a href="http://www.22ent.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/10f16hd.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.22ent.com/hk/wp-content/uploads.../12/10f16hd.jpg</a>

Good idea. Really works well in HoN and other games that did it.

I agree. It means you don't have to random button press all the time to find it and it wouldn't have to be too big so that it detracts from the interface.

Grid is much better.

What grid?
