Ok this is all good and well that this feature is back, but who's bright idea was it to use the \ as a key for it? Why not the oldie but goodie Tab key? As I'm from a Scandinavian country where the key map is a bit different, the \ sign is made by holdning down "Alt Gr"+"+" this feature is a real fingerbender if it even works on our computers. I'm guessing that more ppl out there who doesn't use the American key-map are going to get similar problems. Is there some special reason the Tab key was not used now after the UI's transfer to XML? Just wondering if there might be some more universal combination that could be used as a default without us having to edit the keys.ini file.. /Rick |

Because they're trying to follow desktop user interface guidelines inside a 3d environment. 100 points for good intentions but minus about infinity for not thinking things through... |
