addedThe escape button was overloaded to be able to do lots of things. I preserve that functionality with a binding for a multipurpose cancel.

These include closing all dialogues, stopping the simulation, bringing up the main menu, and cancelling edit modes.

Key Bindings

  • Added menu to change key bindings available via button in options menu. These are saved to the bindings.cfg file.

  • Only one key per key action now. Got rid of x to delete (use del instead). Got rid of pgup pgdn to zoom (use + -) instead now. Short keyboards or laptops may not have pgup and pgdn, so it is more accessible to not rely on them by default.

  • Added sentence explaining there is no upkeep for trains and industry.

Misc

  • Adjust font kerning. Still isn't perfect, but fixed some particularly bad letters offsets.
