Also, an episode about keyboard shortcuts? I still play usin only the mouse!

Great idea.  I will try to bring those into the series organically.  I am very much still learning these, but its such a great feature, I want to learn to master it.  (On a different level, I may not want to rely on them too much, because it will make it hard for me to finish my TftD series XD).

I have yet to find the comprehensive list of controls outside the in-game menu under the Options UI.  The "Controls" page is still not built on the wiki site.  When this page is up, it will make things much more accessible for the community.

Cheers, Ivan

you'll get used to it pretty quick, and you'll find it impossible to continue your TFTD playthrough. mwahahaha.

That fear has crossed my mind.... "Damnit!! How come Tab isn't working!!! Blast!"
(I am going to love the keyboard shortcuts!)

Thank you sir!  I am definitely still a noob with OpenXcom, and recognize that I have a lot to learn, so I welcome any and all; "you are such a noob, you should have done it this way..." flames.

I have to echo the huge Kudos for the progress here on 1.0 and the great revitalization that it has brought to this classic!! 

I also want to state that I have a huge problem with the puddle of drool that keeps accumulating on my Desk and Keyboard as I anticipate an up to date OpenTFTD port!  Woot!  <grabs towel, and wipes keyboard>.

Cheers, Ivan
