Title: [Suggestion] Easier large number selection for item screens
Post by: Arctic on September 11, 2023, 02:14:47 pm

It is currently very difficult to input large numbers into screens involving the transfer of items, e.g. the buy/hire screen. Right now, there is only one option for inputting numbers in increments larger than 1 and that is the maximum value. I would like to be able to:

• Shift-click to increment by 10
• Ctrl-click to increment by 100
• Alt-click to increment by 1000
• Use combinations of these keys, which will increment by the values multiplied together
• Hold up/down while holding these keys to have the value rise even more quickly
• Type an exact desired figure into the "Quantity" box

The option for inputting large numbers is available in OXC/OXCE for well over 12 years now.
It allows to increase by 10-100 with mouse scroll button.
With the maximum setting of 100, and a single scroll movement on an average mouse, you can increase items by 700-900 at once within fraction of a second.

If this is not enough, and you need to move hundreds of thousands or millions of items at once, then there's an issue with the mod, not with the engine.
