[DONE][Suggestion] Inventory button - scroll ground items left
« on: November 24, 2018, 03:28:37 am »
Right now, the inventory screen only has a "scroll right" button when looking at a stack of items on the floor that is larger than one screen. I guess it would be quite easy to add a "scroll left" button to allow scrolling in both directions.

Good thought, but right-clicking already does it.

Just tried it in battlescape. Right click doesn't scroll left but exits the inventory. So there is still room for improvement.

Right-clicking only works during deployment. If you access it during the battle it indeed closes the inventory screen.

Use shift-click, it works in all cases: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5768.msg98708.html#msg98708

As for why not adding a button... we need the space for Item descriptions.

PS: please do not call threads "UI improvement"... nobody will ever find it anymore... why not calling it "[Suggestion] Inventory button - scroll ground items left" ? That way we won't have at least a 5th duplicate of it already.

Ups, my bad. I actually tried right clicking+modifiers (including shift), but i think i got confused as to the order of items on the individual pages  :P

Indeed, this works as intended.

BTW, i have not been able to find a documentation for all added/changed features, including stuff like this. Is this feature actually documented anywhere? I've probably missed something obvious and apologize in advance for asking dumb questions like this.

I took the liberty of renaming the thread, I hope I didn't go beyond my line. :)

Everything relevant is here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4187.0.html
First few posts.

This change is there as well, search for "2018-07-05", it's a few lines below that.

It's not great, but it's the best I have... for now. Improvements planned.
