Buttons don't repeat when held down
« on: September 02, 2006, 12:00:00 am »
I used to be able to pick up tons of stuff quickly, but it seems with the newest version, I can't hold down the pick up button to pick up things.

I myself am a rock thrower, so I really like being able to hold down G in a safe area and fill up on Ammo.
But now, it seems I can't pick up enough without getting tired from spamming the key over and over.
Is there anyway I can fix this on my own, or is it working as intended? (Likely.)

I believe it is intended. The game often counted a single keypress as two or more...kind of annoying.

Ultimately I'd like to get the standard hold-then-repeat going for regular keys, and keep the uniform repeat for scrolling...  I think.

Key repeat should be enabled for building spacy stuff, like roads, channels, farm plots. Nine presses just to extend the road to the maximum is rather much.
