Customizable hotkeys?

[Hoffer]

I've been watching the Blorg adventurers and one thing that struck me was there was a lot of clicking for potentially repetitive tasks. In the videos they had to right click on each debris field and select survey. They were also clicking buttons to do tasks like merging or splitting selected fleets. Do we know if there will be hotkeys (customizable) for tasks like this?

We certainly hope so, or at the very least they would be mappable in the interface files.

Also note that there are a lot of predefined hotkeys (such as system-galaxy zoom out) that Wiz for whatever reason doesn't use. Splitting and merging army is something that have hotkeys in past PDS games, so I expect that to be available for sure.

I'd also assume that extended hotkeys can be easily modded in since it was possible in EUIV and Stellaris uses the same engine.

Maybe Arumba will do something for the game.

It is entirely possible to add hotkey for buttons just a matter of knowing which file it is buried in. I add load to ships as a hotkey in CK2 because it is annoying having to hit the buttons especially when you have a large kingdom.

"maybe"
that is fucking hilarious, Arumba would make a Stellaris keyboard shortcuts mod, if nothing else just to spite Wiz for not having them in the game the exact way Arumba wants it.
Also Arumba is pretty pumped about Stellaris, so we'll no doubt see a keyboard shortcuts mod for it.

Yeah well...at the moment he seems to have other problems as in getting a divorce and being (understandably) depressed about it, if I interpreted his tweets from yesterday the right way.

Oh shit. I didn't know, not the most active fan of his, shit man that sucks.

The stream yesterday put my mind at ease a little bit. There indeed do seem to be hotkeys for splitting fleets (V) and merging fleets (G). I also noticed a hotkey (F) to zoom out to the galaxy map while viewing a star system. It would be great if there was a survey hotkey for science ships, but I have not been able to spot that.
