1 I dunno, you can build things with only 2 hotkey presses using the tab menus, but in any case your hotkeys end up getting tied to whatever tab you happen to have selected which can lead to weird results. It doesn't seem like there's an easy way to navigate [i]out[/i] of a tab menu once selected, either, and selecting something to build doesn't always clear the current tab selection. 1 I dunno, you can build things with only 2 hotkey presses using the tab menus, but in any case your hotkeys end up getting tied to whatever tab you happen to have selected which can lead to weird results.

3 I think proper submenus (rather than the crappy error-prone splash menu) might be more elegant, even if they required 3 key presses again. 3 I think proper submenus (rather than the crappy error-prone splash menu) might be more elegant, even if they required 3 key presses again.

5 EDIT: That reminds me of a related issue, which is that if you hit alt while a tab menu is selected (ie, for terraform+build) alt will automatically cancel the tab you're in so that you can no longer select anything. I'm aware that this has been replaced by click-and-hold, but there are situations where that causes stupid behavior, ex trying to place a grid of windgens and needing to keep the mouse held so that you can hit X or Z to change the spacing. Try to do that now and it ends up forcing you into tf-build even for buildings for which that is totally and utterly useless.

5 Also, no linux doesn't use space for anything special, and although you can typically customize things much more in linux than in mac or windows I think it'd be unusual to have space as a modifier or hotkey in general. 7 Also, no linux doesn't use space for anything special, and although you can typically customize things much more in linux than in mac or windows I think it'd be unusual to have space as a modifier or hotkey in general.
