Impartial MASTER LIST of issues/problems

"It's basically a "I've now got this province selected, and I want to select _that_ province, but I don't want to move my hand over to the mouse to do so.""

AHH HA!

Have we found a 1 handed gamer?

Anyway since the provinces arn't layed out in a grid I don't see how this will work. Sure you can 'make' it work, but doesn't seem like that big of an advantage...

Unless you really are a one handed gamer...

This is terrible, we're giving IW so much necessary work that they'll never be able to add anything cool, like new heroic abilites

Basically, I want to be able select and cycle through all the commanders (or army-Groups) in the currently province. So, say using , and . as the keys. When you first select a province none of the commanders are selected. I want it so that when you now press "," the first commander in the province (top-left in the commanders box) is selected, and additional presses of "," and "." scrolls through the commanders in the box, selecting each in turn.

I summarized a couple of your points (including #10) as: "Way to select provinces using keyboard (e.g. entering province #, key to cycle through provinces, etc.)" - is that ok?

Sure.

So this differs from pressing 'n' in that the next commander is selected even if he already has orders?

Almost, but not quite. *g* You've found a gamer that writes touch and has taken the effort to get a proper Dovark keyboard and learnt to type on it, and who feel that he's slowed down from what he's doing every time he has to move a hand away from the keyboard over to the mouse (well, Waco tablet as it happens to be.)

Anyway since the provinces arn't layed out in a grid I don't see how this will work. Sure you can 'make' it work, but doesn't seem like that big of an advantage...

The grid-layout was just for demonstration. Basically the rules would be "first press of : sets the currently selected province as the pivotal province, and selects the province due north of the pivotal province. Additional presses of : selects the next (in clockwise direction) province that borders on the pivotal province."

It might be tricky to calculate which province is due north and which is the next clockwise neighbour, but it's not insurmountable.

Yes, and that only commanders in the current province will be selected.

Perhaps we can kill two birds with one stone (or hotkey... )

Use "," and "." to cycle though commanders when a commander is selcted (limited to one province or not?) and to cycle through provinces when a province is selected. Though I'd rather be able to cycle through recruitment screens for all my provinces, I find that F1 gives enough info on the provinces for the most part, at least the info that I can't see right away on the main map.

Patrik, I have a feeling! The poll will be HUGE!

I think pressing 'n' stays within the current province...Or are you saying you want it to jump to the next commander in a different province?

I'll add this next time I update the list.
