Hotkeys

[Madis0]

Idea

NCR could have a set of hotkeys for people to bind. None of those should be set to a key by default to prevent accidents/confusion.

Reasoning

Accessibility and convenience

Other Information

• Encryption toggle
• Encryption config
• Chat state toggle
• Global config

Toggles should show an actionbar text indicating current value when pressed.

I like all of these except global config, it feels like that would be better done with a GUI button. In principle we could extend the functionality of config reload button in multiplayer menu to allow access to actual config screen with, say, right-click, and simple reload with left-click. Obviously the screen still depends on Cloth Config API to work, so it won't be accessible in any way without it.

I think that is exactly what #349 suggests, just with a safety status button instead of the one in multiplayer menu. Not sure which one would work better.

[Madis0]

I agree that #349 should be implemented and I agree that it should be implemented in the status icon, as that is contextual.
Implementing it in the refresh icon seems unnecessary as the user can

• use Mod Menu
• edit the config file (which is what the refresh button is for) or
• even have an additional button for config alone as the screen space is not limited, nor do buttons obstruct anything in the server screen

[Madis0]

Either way implementing a hotkey to config as well would be similar to minimap mods for example, where people may want to edit their config often. I personally don't think I'd need it either, it was just suggested to "complete the set".

Please disable them by default!

Please disable them by default!

Why?

It is best to set it in the vanilla key settings.
