Interface Tweaks

Ergonomic Hotkeys
9 items
Description
Interface Tweaks Version 1.6
This mod adds visible hotkeys to most actions that have hotkeys, replaces the disband squad button with a trash can so you stop disbanding squads on accident, makes the difference between selected and deselected UI icons more obvious, and many other minor improvements that should make the UI easier to use and understand.
Other Versions of this Mod
This mod is part of a collection of mods that each include the same UI tweaks, but with some differences. These include versions that don't include hotkey hints, and versions that have a custom set of easier to use hotkeys compatible with many keyboard layouts.
Browse the whole collection to find the mod that best suits your needs!
Known Issues
  • If you change any hotkeys, the displayed hotkeys will be inaccurate. You are free to alter the mod to make it work with your hotkeys, if you have the patience.
  • The hotkeys for the screw press and soapmaker's workshop are unchanged, and the hotkey hints are not shown. This is a bug in the base game that I cannot fix.
  • There is no way to put different graphics on the buttons for the magma and non-magma furnaces, so both keys are listed.
  • The hotkeys are also listed when you select a placed building, though you can think of this as a feature if you'd like.

By most recent do you mean 50.11 or the 50.12 beta?

following up, generated a world with the mod activated via proton 8.0.2 without issue. i'm not sure what could actually be causing this, i'll investigate but for now at least i can use the mod!

@Trainzack most recent of both! i'll try running it via proton, if this issue doesn't exist on windows then that should effectively solve the problem

@shupliance What version of the game and mod are you using? I'm not able to replicate on Windows.

this mod now causes a crash pre-world gen, specifically on "preparing graphics... vanilla music" or sometimes, on rare occasion, "preparing graphics... interface tweaks." as far as i know, all my game settings are default and i'm running without dfhack, on linux. it has been rendered impossible to use :(

Only 1.3 marked "installed" in the mod list, 1.6 is not active.
how to install it ?

hi, many thanks for this excellent mod. I just copied my save games to a fresh HDD and it seems I had not updated the mod on my old HDD, it was running 1.3. On the new HDD it updated the game to 1.6, and now the mod doesn't work. As far as I can tell it thinks its running, but none of the tweaks show up in game. Does anyone know why this might have happened and how to fix it? Thanks.

been looking for this, thank you.

@Jonathan When the ASCII view is enabled, the game does not load any of the graphics objects that this mod relies on. It is not possible to change the ASCII mode UI elements without a more invasive mod like DFHack. Assuming you really want the hotkey hints, I think it's possible to write a DFHack mod to insert those commands, though I don't really know the state of DFHack modding right now.
