Summary

0000907: Hotkey suggestions for Thieves' Guild and Tavern

Description

The main suggestion came from pHOMM in post on the forum (http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=2569#2569 [^]): 'G' to be coded as universal hotkey for opening Thieves' Guild.

G is indeed one of the few keys not used for other function in any of the H3 screens. So we could code it to open Thieve's Guild not only from Adventure Map, but from any other game window (same as it was done for the Marketplace window). The information in the Guild is of general need, same as Kingdom Overview, so there's no added value in having to open Town screen, then Tavern, only to get to it. This would save us a good deal of mouse clicks.

Alternately (or additionally), it could also be linked to CTRL+KingdomOverview button... However that may create confusion, as we already have in WoG a hotkey combination with that button for Mithril I believe.

* * *

I'd also like to propose 'T' for Tavern in Town screen. Sometimes it takes me a bit of time to distinguish the Tavern from other buildings in some towns, especially those which I don't play that often, or with pretty similar buildings. So this would come in handy. I know 'T' is currently associated with Marketplace, but that needs to change (see 0000216).

Additionally, once in Tavern, hitting 'T' again could further open Thieve's Guild. But that's really optional, especially if 'G' would be already implemented as per above.
