[Bug-freedink] List of (mostly dmodding-related) grievances

[Eero]

Hi! Just a bunch of relatively small things, that can nonetheless make working on dmods way more annoying on Windows with FreeDink, than using regular v1.08. :)

Alt+F4: Doesn't work in FreeDink. On Windows, this instantly quits the currently active program, and I think it's something a lot of Windows users (myself included) have learned to live by. ;)

Alt+Tab: This key combo works, the problem is that DFArc3 is locked, so that you cannot access it while the game is running in the background. A lot of the time, I use Alt+Tab to switch between the editor and the game, or even to run multiple dmods at once. This becomes a lot more annoying when you have to start multiple instances of DFArc, rather than just launching everything from one window.

Console: In regular Dink, you can hold down backspace, and it will erase many characters. In FreeDink, this doesn't work, so you have to tap-tap-tap-tap-tap backspace in order to erase everything.

This is a somewhat more serious problem: The keycodes are quite different between FreeDink and Dink Smallwood v1.08. For example, on my Finnish keyboard the § button that I use for console is key-220 on regular Dink, but key-96 on FreeDink. (I *think* that's the ~ (tilde) button on US keyboards, which still works very well for the same purpose, but I'm not 100% on that.)

Also, the F-buttons don't work on FreeDink, AT ALL. (key-112, key-113, etc.)

Cheerio,
