One-Handed Players: Double-Click to Select All Idle Units


Recommended Posts

I observed a one-handed player trying to play 0 A.D. Mouse control was proficient.

A major issue was selecting idle units. Selecting them one by one via the idle unit icon is very tedious and time-consuming.

Therefore, I propose to introduce a way to select all idle units at once. My suggestion is that a double-click on the "idle units" icon would select all idle units.

I believe that this simple change could have a significant positive impact on the gameplay experience. I look forward to your opinions and discussing this suggestion.

Thank you

"Alt + *" is the default hotkey to select all idle units. "*" is to select 1 idle, and combining it with "Alt" ("Select off-screen" hotkey) selects all.
Considerations:
A one handed player might want to relocate all hotkeys for "Ctrl" "Shift" "Alt" onto the mouse. 5 buttons mouses are reasonably common and could do the job. Then for idles, you could hold "Select off-screen" (for example, you set it to the middle button of the mouse instead of Alt) and then click idle icon on vanilla gui.
 

Spoiler

Some other gui you know of also have a even easier graphical solution to this where you can just use the mouse :rolleyes:
