Pressing escape while in a blueprint should bring you up one layer.

Post by NotRexButCaesar »

When in a blueprint book, pressing escape currently closes the gui completely. I propose that it should only close the book/layer you are currently in, to make navigation easier.

I'm all for the default shortcuts I'm using everywhere working also ingame.

I like there being a shortcut to go up a level. Personally, I would prefer "U" (if not already taken), as it's the shortcut to go up a level in Gmail and many email programs.

Alternatively, ESC could exit out of the library screen completely, or perhaps have some other function (such as immediately going back to the root / main library screen).

The specific button doesn't really matter I guess. it could be its own modifiable shortcut.

Shortcut to go back on blueprint books

Post by MuhammedCanG »

I suggest there should be a shortcut to go back for one layer on blueprint books. I have been creating megabase blueprints for the last 50 hours of my playtime and I cannot overstate how much this would help. My suggestion would be "Q", the "clear curser" key. It not only isn't occupied to do anything in blueprint books, it also synergises with it's function.

This thread doesn't seem to have much traction, but I want to add a +1 to it. It would be really nice to have a shortcut to go up one level.
