END Button

[Cooper Kid]

Ok this isn't so much a bug as a general annoyance - the END button on the keyboard cycles through nearby targets. Fair enough.

But when you try to hide your ship with Alt + END, it still cycles targets.

So I find the screen spinning wildly and my ship flying in a different direction whenever I hide my ship to take a screenshot.

Annoying!

Some Key Mappings were changed. Please see the following:

Yeah, I knew the num pad controls were changed, but that doesn't solve the problem that END still cycles targets while ctrl is pressed.

As it says here, http://forum.pirategalaxy.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5516&start=0 - Additional hotkeys added: 1-8 = activates items, Ins = follow/don't follow, del = scan, end = cycle targets.

I feel like I'm repeating myself here. I KNOW what the numpad controls are, I just think that when hiding your ship with ctrl + END it shouldn't keep cycling targets as well.

If you read the previous answers you will see that is how it is mapped out - CM-Astraeus

ctrl + end has never been programmed for to use to hide your ship, that was found by a player, so hiding your ship is NOT a regular command in your gaming at PG, therefore it has NOT been taken in count when the keys has been programmed to use as shortcut keys ingame.

To report something what has never belonged to the game as normal function, and being overpassed with a new accepted function is, irrelevant.

Ah right, I had no idea it wasn't a listed command. Case closed :mrorange:

I have found that while typing if I press the "END" button - I auto lock onto the nearest target.

While I was parked on an "E"ball - I was helping out a clanmate with some advice when I was attacked by a mantis. I killed it and then went to continue typing where I had left off as my text was still in the chatbox. I pressed "END" to get to where I had stopped typing halfway through a sentance and all of a sudden, my ship shot off to the nearest target, which happened to be a DS commander.

I lived, the DS didn't, and I eventually managed to send the text I was writing.

I just think that if your cursor is in the text box, pressing "END" should do what its meant to do (take you to the end of your text) and not make you dash off after a target. :frown:

I guess the only way to fix these problems is to turn num lock off :mrorange: I don't use the num pad anyway.
