getting back, need help with hotkeys.

  • Quote

Post by Shikari »

So I opened DE today. I used to play in TAD. My hotkeys aren't working. particularly the way "find x structure" key works. I used to have it so that when I click once, it would just select it, and when I click twice, it would take me to it. It isn't the case anymore. I only get to choose the option of directly taking me to the said structure or just selecting it and not taking me to it, even if I double-click.

Any solution?

Hey, welcome back to Aoe3, you can use grid hotkey system if you want, it's very flexible overall, hard to get used to using all control groups with it though, I might plan to release a hotkey guide in the future for legacy hotkeys too.

You need to disable "Hotkeys snap to unit" and adjust the threshold to how you like it. Something like this:

However, it is true that on DE this feature doesn't work 100%...
