URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21637 For release 2.1.2, fixed as suggested: controlFn to create, and shiftFn to select, freeing up the 1-4 keys on the main keyboard. ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Daniel, for the most part, they do, but it's still a usability issue when I can simply use a number for unit movement. I want to stay as far away from the mouse as possible, and using multi-key combinations is about as bad for basic usage functions. I agree - mappable keys make tremendous amounts of sense and would solve my issue. Kevin ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

This is probably a documentation issue. It should be clear in the help that these are the numbers on the numerical keyboard. Hi Daniel, From my perspective, it's a usability issue largely because it doesn't work for laptop users like myself. Since we don't have a separate numeric keypad, being able to use the top row of numbers is important. It seems to me that Ctrl-Fx could be used to create a group and Shift-Fx could be used to select a group. My other reason for wanting to use the numbers has a lot to do with the direction (arrow, pageup/dn, home/end) keys not working unless I actually click on the map screen. That is annoying at least and at times, causes problems because the behavior is inconsistent. Depending on the situation, I can keep hitting the same direction key and sometimes, the unit moves, sometimes it doesn't. Thanks Daniel.
