Change name/description of debug command to "show FPS/UPS"

Post by Amarula »

TL;DR
Make the command to show UPS easier to find by changing the name of the command to "show FPS/UPS."

What ?
The name/description of the debug command to show UPS is "show FPS." Changing the tag to "show FPS/UPS" would correspond to what the command actually does.
Why ?
I spent half an hour or so digging around in the wiki documentation trying to find the command to show UPS. I was skipping over all the parts about show FPS because I wasn't looking for FPS. I hadn't clued in that they are related closely enough that the debug command simply shows both of them, so there isn't a command that only shows UPS. Once you have used it once, the issue pretty much vanishes because you know that the command shows both.

Then you need to change that also in the debug-mode. I use always that, instead of complicated commands.
