Disable attack move with "alt" key

Post by Garja »

As the title says, is it possible to disable the attack move command associated with the "alt" key?

I would love this. It's so annoying when you press alt to check hp and end up attack moving.

Ye, what bothers me is that for some reason alt key isn't very responsive so that happens quite often when checking hp bars or even just changing unit stance.

It's not a bug, it's that attack move is hard coded to alt.

when you use alt hotkey for attack move, you dont actually attack move your units.
It only forces them to fight (if you use alt and attack-click on enemy unit, all units will attack that same unit (50 musks will waste 50 shots on 1 skirm before its killed [atleast thats the case when i use alt for attack moving]

When you press the attack move hotkey, the cursor changes into a sword but that doesn't happen when I press alt. Doesn't it mean I don't have it ?

No, do alt+right clic at the same time and your units will attack.

Oh yes, you are right. But to be honest, it never bothered me as I don't use that combination. At least not intentionally.

It happens when you are using alt to check hp while running away with units (hussars for example) or just running past villagers with raid trying to check their hp. It's pretty annoying really that it's also bound to checking unit hp. Probably an oversight when they added to reveal hp bars in TAD (didnt exist in nilla).

It's hard-coded so it can't be modified.

Unless they hack the .exe maybe? Doubt that's a good idea

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.
