Anyway to disable "e" button? - Page 4

I have nerve issues with my hands and clicking can be painful sometimes, so I use the keyboard quite frequently

I've only accidentally hit e once or twice, luckily when I was already solidly winning so it didn't really hurt the game.

There should at least pop up a message saying something like: Do you really wish to end your turn?
Please Illwinter! Pimp my Dom3!

I support a confirmation box for the 'e' key, or making it ctrl-e or something. e+return to confirm is not much harder and prevents 99% of mispresses.

There should be a random chance each turn for the turn to end, simulating clumsiness for all players, thus making it more even. Just a thought.

Or a random attribution of hotkeys each turn.

That would be rad!

Well, you can change your keyboard layout to Dvorak while playing.

Actually, for me that has been the only reason I ever accidentally End Turn. My computer is set to Dvorak by default, but I usually use QWERTY for Dominions--and if I hit 'D' for "province Defence", immediately after starting a game and before switchiing to QWERTY, the key 'D' is 'E' in Dvorak and it ends my turn. Much frantic process-killing ensues, to try to stop Dom3 before it finishes turn computation and saves the files to disk. Fortunately Dom3 often takes several minutes to process on my machine so I'm usually okay.

However, this is one of the main reasons I have taken to automatically backing up my files every turn via the --postexec command. The other reason is so that I can figure out what magic sites were in province X that I just lost.

It would be nice to have a program that randomize your keyboard layout from a huge list of layouts after every keystroke. I would pay for such a program.
