Spacebar in the Combo Page.

[Radien ZC]

Why, what use does the original horizontal view have? o.o'

I thought you were originally speaking of its virtues? O.o

...Well, the reason I switch to it sometimes is because, if you use the arrow keys in the new viewing mode, it takes about 5 times as long to scroll from the top of the page to the bottom of the page.

In the old viewing mode, all I have to do is hold Shift and the Down arrow, and BAM, less than two seconds later I can select every combo on the page.

It's just a small change, but it really adds up when you are copy/moving entire pages of combos at once.

The "default" way of vieving combo pages allows you to see one page at a time, the combos nicely ordered by number.

The "space" mode I find useful because you can see the combos like you would on the combo list to the side of the screen. That's the point. It's useful for placement of larger (tree) objects. Before combo aliases, this and the brush size 2x2 or so was the quickest way. And laying out your combos/tilesets so they appear right on the side screen is very useful indeed. I'd like to keep both modes at all costs.

As to selection, I think you might expect some changes there anyway. There's still a garbage combo bug in there somewhere, and then there's the suggestion of mass copy (multiple copies of one combo at once) that was raised. Rectangular selection mode (like tile page) is something I'd like myself (and when I say that, I have only myself to blame that it doesn't exist :) ). Again, the current mode of quickly selecting consecutive tiles I'd say should be kept.

... O.o' ... ... Okay, this is creeping me out a little bit. XD I think we're referring to two different things here. :p


I'm referring mostly to koopa's explanation of the "Default" mode, where when you first open ZQuest then head right into the Combo Page Editor, it splays things out in horizontal ascending order, rather than how it shows in ZQuest. THAT'S the view I "want to see replaced." Since we have the view which looks like the combo page, do we need one which accomplishes much the same thing, but in an alternative way? I mean, you can still probably have a ZQuest rule to toggle this view. ._o' I'd just rather see a rectangular selection tool than two different views of doing the same thing.

Also, Radien, what were you referring to when you could say that it only took two seconds to highlight a whole combo page? You're referring to the fact that ... Right. Well, couldn't you just use the mouse to do that? :p Shift+Click?


Virtues. A very happy "WTF ^o^" to you good sir. :p

I use the spacebar every time I work with cycling combos, I'd hate to see it changed.

[ShadowTiger]

That's quest ZQuest Options are for. :p Nothing has to be changed permanently if you can toggle it, or make another shortcut key for the effect, ... or even add a third toggle to the spacebar, in much the same way that pressing "o" three times switches between the different drawing modes.
