Add hotbar option to quick open control panel of device on control seat of grid

Wilhelm shared this feedback ago

Not Enough Votes

Simple request. Every block should have (always) an option to set an 'open/close control panel' for that block in the hotbar when in a seat or cockpit.

Currently, you have to open the list of blocks and then scroll to find the block you want to get to the control panel settings. This would let me take something like the (future) jump drive, which (based on SE1 logic) I have to open the control panel and pick my destination each time, and ideally I'd setup a jump drive - open/close control panel hotbar button for the jump drive, so I can tap it once set my destination and then tap it again to close the control panel again.

If you rly want this to do well,

then every couple of days go back and post a new comment.

That way it will got to the top of "Updated" in feedback,

since thats what is set as the default when you refresh this site.

So try to space out your replies throughout a couple days instead of a couple hours. :)

Yeah, I don't do every few days, but I'll refresh periodically. My comment above was just reminding people to vote for these things since Keen won't really look at these suggestions unless they get enough votes.

Yea, wish there was a better way than just "muh AI enough votes".

But nothing I can do so.... comment it is. :)

Again, these are suggestions to provide optimizations for repeated processes. Any steps that require multiple mouse clicks or key presses, which could easily be compressed into one is something to investigate.

Unless the dev's goal is to increase play time by making common steps take longer than they need to, optimizations are good.
