keyboard input
« on: June 27, 2010, 04:50:38 pm »
hey, just asking for a small fix:
pressing ALT+[key] and then pressing ALT+[same key] within a few seconds won't recognize it the second time.
particularly annoying in hexer when you get aetherwalk refresh for example and other scenarios too*
kthnx

It's there to prevent spamming.

hmm... i can see why, but i think spammers should just be kicked if spamming the console too much - it shouldn't drag others down that would want sending same command twice.
perhaps disable the lock for / commands (although that seems to be more complicated then)
there's virtually never a need to send same chat message twice (or more) in a row, but with commands it might be a different story...

So do [ALT]+key and [ALT]+different key and here you go.

As we are on taunts topic - I've noticed that if your trying to write special sign (i.e. [rightALT]+s gives you Ś - which is common polish char used in front of certain words but not only) in the beginning of the line will put taunt first and then it will put this sign. It's pretty annoying but it's not that bad. Possible solution? Use for taunting left alt-key only.

What's more...when you have some taunts assigned to numbers and use it right after being killed it'll make you choose different weapon from weapon menu...And I consider it as major bug.

Same with rightALT + 8/9 :p
I've also encountered this problem many times in hexer and got used to taunt something else, but in reality it would result in 3 taunts and not in 2 if you wouldn't have to taunt another beetween those 2.

I'm for to make this an option atleast.

yeah i do the other different-key-taunt usually, but there are so many situations where i lost too much time before re-taunting and died as a result...
