Planned making advanced build mode toggle option

[admiral pheonix]

i dont know if this has been suggested yet, but i would love to see advanced build mode as a toggle not a must hold the button down constantly, i am getting some seriously carpel tunnel from having to hold down the ctrl button.

The thread itself isn't marked as planned so I wouldn't actually say that it has been planned or not. Only threads marked with with "planned" should be considered so.

A good, simple suggestion.

Even better...selectable toggle/no toggle.

Thanks, i thought it was pretty straight forward when i typed it out, mainly to save my poor hand when i was building my latest project.

 

[PLIX]

i want that too

I think its kinda needed you can get carpel tunnel syndrome from using your hands to much and that "Holding Control Down" is a really good way to get it, i really hope schine put something in there EULA or terms of service about injury from playing the game. *Hint* *Hint* Bench, schema

Had Carpal release surgery on my right wrist. Suffering symptoms in my left wrist (numbness, tingling, pain, weakness). Recovering from trigger-finger repetitive use injury. I use tools doing my day-job but my injuries are from all sources of repetitive-strain including playing games.

my mother had to have both her wrist done and her elbow for carpal tunnel, so i know how much of a pain it can be having it and how much of a pain it is to recover from it.

Instant +1.

I started developing carpal tunnel symptoms in the 90's. To this day I attribute both a Microsoft Natural Elite Keyboard and Kingston Expert Mouse Trackball as the only things which keep me pain-free. Yea, that's almost 20 years using the same keyboard and mouse designs, for those of you doing the math! To this day using a traditional full-sized keyboard and/or a traditional mouse or laptop trackpad leads to severe wrist/forearm pain within an hour, upon switching back to that M$ keyboard and that specific type of Kingston trackball and I'm a happy man again.

I'll even admit to having four of those M$ keyboards sitting in storage, as I've had the electronics die in my current keyboard once already, and these keyboards are increasingly difficult to find.

Also switched to Kingston's newer wireless (BTLE) version of the trackball, and it works great; rechargeable battery lasts about three weeks between charges, and there's no noticeable lag.

Good to know. I have never tried a track-ball but I am ready to try anything to reduce the repetitive strain. I did use a microsoft ergonomic 'wave' keyboard that seemed to help. Problem is it is too big for my current table setup.

Most people don't realize that no matter how "lightly" you try to use a mouse, you're still squeezing it, and therefore straining related muscles. While being a NetWare-->SCO/SunOS/BSD/Linux engineer (that also designed, built, and solo-managed a ~300 node international Win32 desktop environment w/ CLI tools, for years) means I am very CLI-biased (e.g. greatly favor keyboard before mouse), I'll still give that trackball major kudos for saving me from decades of pain.

I have really been enjoying my vertical mouse. It's basically a mouse up on its side, so that your arm remains in a natural resting position, instead of being severely twisted, while using the mouse for hours. I wish there were vertical-mouse conversion kits that would allow you to drop a conventional mouse in to turn it into a vertical mouse. I would love to get a much better gaming mouse to use as a vertical mouse.

Check out this mind-bender of a mouse:
