Search bar in controls settings

Post by natheraf »

Search bar to search for the control you want to change. Have the menu update as you type. Having to press Enter or a button to search after typing is fine, but having the menu update as you type allows new players to learn controls as they search for others. This is because having the menu update as you type would make you constantly scanning the menu, therefore, looking at other controls you might've not known was in the game.

Yes, you can just look... at the wall of text... I noticed that I've found controls in the other tabs (other than game and inventory) easier to look at. What do I mean by that? I want to look at the Debug tab. I want to look at the Editor tab. It's so small and easy to digest. I ended up figuring out the debug controls earlier than I learned how to shoot a gun...

Therefore, a search bar and more tabs (categories) would be awesome. More approachable for new players (like me), easier to digest, and isn't terrifying as the wall of text that is the Game tab. Please consider this! Thanks, have a good day a work whoever is reading :D

I'd like that for mod settings, cos controls is currently the only menu that has one ;).
