Jim MergedHow is there no shortcut to remove trees zones, cut zones, any crop zone - quickly.
1
It would be nice to not have to go to the menu bar every time I messed up to remove a square or two. I would suggest a Control+Click/Drag to remove the zoning for whatever currently selected tool is. It gets quite annoying to go from the middle of the screen, to the bottom, then perhaps miss the button slightly, or clicked and dragged off the button too quickly and it doesn't register the click, to the middle, then back to the bottom because I missed the button, then back to the middle of the screen, select the zone I want to remove, then try and go back and find the specific tool I was just using. It gets annoying very quickly.
This suggestion is similar to this one:

John Beaver MergedThanks for adding customizable hotkeys! It is especially nice that modifier keys can be used in the keybinding menu, for example being able to set something to the combo of Shift+E.
My request is that if a keybind is set to a combo like this, can the combo not also activate the unmodified key. So in the example of binding something Shift+E, as long as Shift is being held then pressing E would only activate the thing bound to "Shift+E" and not whatever is bound to just plain "E". -

Hodor MergedI would like there to be a hotkey to mark a building to be worked by bots. If I build 20 gear factories for example and I want all of them to be worked by bots, I currently have to click on each one, then click the bot icon. It's easy to miss a building. If I could click a building, press "B" to assign a bot, I could do this very quickly.

shawn Mergedjust adding ctrl to remove anything (or what is selected) would be helpful for example when building and u miss click having to press several clicks to remove it only to go back through the menu to replace it. allowing ctrl to demolish buildings, shift to remove cut/plant zones would make simple miss clicks less annoying

Jim MergedBuild Path
Set Priority X (the UI tool, not the per building option)
Destroy
Ideally, all build options could have a hotkey, but be undefined by default. That'd give choice. Subgroups and chained keystrokes are cumbersome and for new players (I've played about ten hours) unlikely to be used. -

Hai MergedI'm using the newest experimental version.
1. It would be useful if the same keyboard shortcut that I can assign to detonate TNT would also trigger the "Demolish" state on Blockages.
2. Shortcuts for selecting the previous and next recipes would be very nice, too, under "Buildings".
(I'm unfortunately still getting the little display bug so that e.g. Y is displayed as "^Y" or # as ´# in the dialog.)
Best regards! -

Sterling MergedYou can currently add key bindings to rotate camera left/right, but no key bindings to tilt camera up down! Would be super helpful. I use Q and E for left/right rotation, R and F might be good candidates for up/down camera tilt.

smoorke Mergedcurrently alt+wheel-up increases elevation while i feel it would be more intuitive to have it lower elevation. this is more in line to how wheel-up w/o modifiers zooms in.

Tom MergedOn Mac laptops, there's no ability to middle click, making controlling the camera pitch impossible. My suggestion is to add more control customisation:
1. The ability to bind keys to camera pitch (most top down games use 'e' and 'c' by default.
2. The ability to bind mouse gestures (e.g. instead of using middle click and drag, use hold 'shift' and scroll)
3. The ability to use multi-touch gestures (e.g. pinch to zoom instead of scroll to zoom; and swipe up/down with two fingers to pitch the camera). -

LK MergedWould be great if you could assign hotkeys for common tasks like build path, demolish building, mark trees for harvest, etc... They don't even have to be set by default, just having the ability to map them would be nice.
The scrolling between tabs isn't very useful. If each tab was an fn key that would be more user friendly. The fact that it takes two clicks to build anything is a bit annoying as a player. -
