I was just about to start a new map and was generating words and previewing them. I found one that I *really* liked and wanted to save it for certainty. So I selected the seed in the edit box and right clicked in the hope that a context menu opens to copy the number. Instead it got deleted and a new random seed generated. It's gone for good

Could we get a button to pin seeds that look especially promising? Or maybe also a simple navigation between the last previous random seeds?

Love this game by the way, this just hit me a bit by surprise.

You can save your map seed and all map settings by using the button "Export map exchange string" at the bottom right of the map generator gui.

If you only want to save the seed number you can do it by selecting the seed and then press ctrl + C (on Windows based systems).

But a possibility to go back for example 5 seeds is a good idea.
