[DONE][Suggestion] Keyboard Shortcut to Add Indicator over a Soldier

[Solarius Scorch]

Thanks, man. I really appreciate it. And sorry for the negative feedback, I assure you it was not fun to give...

Just need to change the algorithm. Write a key? What?! Assign a key - click - the system accepts the key, or group of keys that were pressed. If there are matches, it cancels this key, or group of keys, from other functions. This works in many games, including very old ones. Is it really impossible to implement this in OXCE+?

If you are so smart say how exactly any engine "Assign a key", and I said "write" not "press" this are two completely different concept for software, I assume you are familial with diffret keyboard-layouts, can you explain how exactly any game engine handle this? and what then is difference between "writing text" and "pressing keys" (not mentioning "key up" and "key down")?
OXC have over 13 years, if someone decide not support special keys as bindable keys, now your only option is rewrite from scratch whole key-handling to propagate all required information.

And nobody mentioned proximity detector? I am joining to this demonstration. This is mockery to blame us for not protesting earlier. No one could knew that new feature would break the older behavior.

Return Alt for scanner.
For markers use any other unused key/key combination, I don't care which.

So, I checked the implementation and the motion scanner hotkey change was never released.
(it was only experimented with during development and play-testing)

So big thanks for spreading fake news and initiating flame-wars.

Also thanks to everyone else for joining the pitchfork hunt without trying it even once.

You guys are really the worst.

Facing indicator hotkey has been changed from alt+ctrl to just alt. In OXCE 7.14.1.

Motion scanner hotkey remains unchanged and is still just alt.

Custom marker hotkey remains unchanged and is still just alt.

Summary: everything is displayed using just alt, alt+ctrl is not needed for anything

Thanks, appreciated!

This is a more general question. Would it be possible to trigger the build process automatically for tagged subreleases, say 7.14.1, 2, etc.?  So that users could grab the latest subrelease from https://openxcom.org/oxce/release/ (or some other site or directory) to more easily test new things. As far as I understand currently you would need to compile it youself, which is a high bar for most people.

You can download any test or latest build without manual compilation from the http://108.61.157.159/versions/win/

I'm late to the party here, but I would like to say thanks for changing ALT back to its previous function.  That's probably my most used hotkey besides selecting weapons.

I agree that "show the facing" deserves to have a single key, so better leave Alt at its old functionality.

I wonder if it would make sense to show the custom markers all the time, without pressing any key. The only collision I see is that if a marked unit is selected, its arrow turns yellow and you don't see the custom marker any more.
