Quickscreen - deal better with range values

<< < (2/3) > >>

Confuseling:
If you do end up keeping it, presumably which direction should be which is hard-codable.

Torne's idea makes sense. Also, I suppose, you could have it the way it is now (but with the directions made sane) if you assign the same thing to opposite sides, and have it the way Torne or I suggested (or similar) if you only pick one. Best of both worlds...

torne:
There's no easy way to make the directions "sane" for every setting, I don't think; it depends what way the values go in the corresponding menu for that setting. The quickscreen code just scrolls the setting one way for top/left and the opposite way for bottom/right without any knowledge of what makes sense for any particular setting.

JdGordon:
torne, the settings which actually have a logical order should work with on the quickscreen (so next gets bigger/more and prev gets less/smaller), the settings config has a flag to make this work with wheel targets which I tihnk the QS uses (or can if it doesnt already).

I like the idea of pressing the direction of the setting you want to change and then left/right to actually change it, it could maybe even be extended to show a listing of a bunch of settings you want, up/down chooses the setting to change, left/right changes the value.

Something like a list showing both setting and current value (in a second line), then select the line with up / down and change the values with left / right? Sounds like a nice option to me.

Confuseling:
You could have an arbitrary number of settings, and make it loop through the ones you've chosen... That'd be nice. And then on the whizz-bang targets you could come up with some flashy ring-shifter type animation if you wanted (even make it themeable...)

...............................[Setting 4]
...............................[Setting 1]
...............................[Setting 2]
[Value 3 - 1] ...  [Setting 3] [Value 3]  ...  [Value 3 + 1]
...............................[Setting 4]
...............................[Setting 1]
...............................[Setting 2]

[The way I'm visualising this the horizontal line doesn't move, but pressing up and down moves the vertical list through it, selecting a different setting to change... And maybe there'd be another keybinding for 'options', so you can move a setting up or down the list.]
