Summary0000526: Arrow keys not implemented to browse through the Spell Book
DescriptionLeft/Right should browse through the pages.

Up/Down should browse through the different magic schools.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationWhile arrows are useful in browsing the Spell Book, H3 didn't allow the player to actually cast a spell without the use of the mouse. Which brings me to the following:

SUGGESTION: Implement ALT+ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, -, +(=) for the (up to) 12 spells visible at any time in an open spell book ("+" would be the 12th on the NumPad, "=" would be the 12th on the main pad). Why ALT+? Because we don't want a player who doesn't know about the shortcuts, cast an undesired spell in the middle of an important Multiplayer game.

This suggestion should of course not prevent this report from being moved to Resolved, but I just wanted to have it logged. Let me know you consider implementing it on the long term. I can either create a new report, or we could keep this in Resolved (i.e.: not close after implementation), to not lose track of the suggestion.

lol,interesting shortcuts, Im not sure how useful it will be but for sure I try to check it ;)
Just remember to add info about this shortcuts to VCMI manual.

EDIT:
So maybe we should go further with this and allow to sort the spells in in current page of spell book by drag and drop. ie I want to have under ALT+1 / 2 / 3 spells haste / slow / bless.
Then I can use this spells during battle without getting into spell book.

@Boulie: Casting via hotkeys w/o opening the book is an interesting idea, but I see potential hazards in being able to drag & drop spells.

I would prefer to be able to configure some hotkeys for that independent from the hotkeys of an open spell book. I've written down my proposal on the forum: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=4894#4894 [^]


EDIT - @Tow: Thanks for implementing the suggestion as well. :-)
