Change key for Pause Game

Post by jeroon »

I've seen quite a few people having problems with the game freezing and a grid appearing over their screen: they were typing and accidently hit shift-space. I think it might be a good idea to change the default to something like 'p' or 'shift-p', because it isn't quite clear that the game is paused to some/most people, let alone how they did it, or how to undo it :D

Have you read what it says beneath "Pause" on that button? Better not :P

If you're hitting Control or Alt to get to the top function, you deserve what happens.

Shift - space pauses the game? That would catch me by surprise as well.
Not saying those who are "SHOUTING" too much into chat don't deserve some punishment, though.

For those with more recent keyboards, mine says "Pause \n ------ \n Break"
To my knowledge, some leopards don't have it all.
