Default Zen\'s FAQ-Thread: Feedback / Suggestion

Nice FAQ-Thread!

Though I suggest that the answer to question "How do I speed up battle replays?"
should also include the hint "Pressing q ends the battle replay immediately."

I think that is quite important, since even with 2.08, the intuitive "ESC" does not work (can we consider this as a bug?) and I just noticed recently that a few friends of mine, which to a look at the demo, were put off by fact that they always had to watch thos battle replays to the very end, since they were not aware of the possibility of simply pressing "q"!!!

You mean Saber Cherrys newbie thread? Yes I think a great job was done there.

I agree that Q isnt as obvious a thing to try as other things might be. I think if its not needed for anything else that ESC should always take you out of wherever you are, and E, and X, and every other key ever assigned to quit something.

--
You are looking the "ASK" key? Oh the ASK key is there. Its just spelled wrong. They have it ESC. But sure,if you are stuck on something, always try that.

(EDIT: No, I was referring to Zen's new FAQ-Thread right on top of all the sticky ones. I editet the subject of this thread to clarify this now...)

It is especially not so obvious since ESC gets you out of almost any other dialogue/pop-up in Dom2, and I think that q is not listed under the shortcut-help-pupup one gets by pressing ?...

My my friends are all dumb, but that seemed a major annoyance to them; yet I'd say that it is entirely unnecessary at all to have different key there...
