Wheel Scroll Support in the Command

[The Specialist]

I've thought of the idea that when you are about to type in a command or etc.  You can have the ability to scroll through the text to see previous sentences and information that can't be displayed anymore.  A clearer example is scrolling through a word document.  Any comments, ideas, or suggestions?

[zyxstand]

yeah - explain the usefulness of this.  This is too vague.  I'd understand if it were for cycling through a vote-list (kick someone or map) or to scroll through console text, but this is pretty useless...

[iDante]

I like this, sometimes someone will tell me a server to go to and I will forget, come back and realize that it has been written over by some noob who is abusing his taunts.

*support*

[Magic Odd Effect]

I agree.

Full support.

And the map and kick votes also work.

[Hiro]

Good idea.

[Sytrus]

Yes, I agree. If somebody posts a long URL and leaves the server, you'll have to write it down - but if it goes out of the screen you're screwed.

[zyxstand]

then why not support clipboard?  It would be better if you can select text with mouse and copy it to clipboard.

[urraka]

I think it's more complicated than usefull to make. I would suggest though, sending all that text to a file, like a log, which you can open when u feel like. (maybe that's already done?)

[SilentChameleon]

Good idea.. might be tricky to use though.

[Hiro]

Hmmm. Adding selectable text would be quite nice but it might be hard. Making a log file could work but only for things that don't matter in-game. If I want to re-read a message to answer it then the log file wouldn't help.

dont like not one bit, i use scroll to go prone.

[Holobunny]

i use scroll to go prone.

That's bloody brilliant!  I'm switching mine as soon as I get a chance.

Man, stop spamming, I click on threads expecting to read something interesting, and it's usualy u saying something stupid.

On-Topic: It doesn't matter if u use the scroll button to go prone. If this was implemented, of course you would be able to choose what buttons to use for scrolling the console.

[urraka]

Could be Ctrl And Shift. But it doesn't matter, i would use the mouse scroll. I said just in case you already use the mouse scroll for another thing and u don't want to change that. You don't even have to use the feature at all if u don't want to.

[ghg]

I use the scroll button to switch weapons though, it's intuitive if you've ever played an FPS.

[urraka]

Oh well, i imagined it so u would be able to scroll the console even when u are playing, on the top, like when somebody says something. But u are right there's no need for that.

[Spec. Ops]

Push T and THEN scroll or a clipboarb either one wont effect your custom scroll settings.

F12!! I find it really annoying when someone gives me their email and I minimise Soldat to go into my email and once back in-game, find that the email has disappeared through the top....

(and while ur at it, copy/paste? shouldn't b as hard as the suggestion here)

Yeah, copy and paste would be a good idea... Although highlighting the text you wanna copy in-game would be a bit difficult. But pasting in the game would be excellent though.

i support the original idea, it makes sense really if hyou miss something to just go back to read it.... doesn't it ?

[urraka]

That's usefull in case someone writes down a link to a website, for example.
