QoL Request: map search feature additions/improvement

Post by A5PECT »

Some additional features I'd really like to see added:

1) Shortcut to select the search box while the map is open, obviously defaulting to ctrl+f

2) up and down arrow keys scroll through and select from the dropdown autocomplete menu
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.

Thats also an obvious key combination for the in game FPS counter toggle.
Maybe ctrl+s (s for search, instead of f for find).
.. If that key combination is not used already.

It maybe that I don't understand what you are asking for but if I hit the "0" while the map is open it takes me to the search box.

I agree.

Have the ability to up/down arrow key through the available options in the search results with the ability to press enter to accept the selected option would be ideal.

In the Previous X Games, you would press the first letter of the system name, then it would cycle though all zones with that letter going down and right. In X3 I was very good at knowing which keys to press in order to get to a specific zone without scrolling. Like you could go to mid map by pressing Y, then hit the A to find the next A zone close to it.

Please bring this back! Although I admit it may interfere with other shortcuts, I'm sure there is a work-around.
