Suggestion: right click to close interface

[kucing]

The game plays awfully in 1024 x 768 resolution since the interface blocks half of the screen. So the player is often forced to close it often. My suggestion is to add another functionality on the right click.

If the build/train/whatever screen is open, close it. Else close the bottom interface to free up some screen space. This saves player's time from hunting the "back" and "X" button to close the interface.

Not too big a deal for me, but I agree it would be nice.

Would help me alot.
I have been a little bit annoyed that the interface takes up so much space - especially the 3D-view of the cities.

If this 3D-view could be turned off, I wouldn't need the rightclick feature as much, but as it is now I have to get rid of that window as soon as I am not using it = hunt for the x

Very good idea. Seconded.

Usually if you press esc it closes the interface too.

Yes it does but you need to move your hand to the esc key first. If it's right click, you just need to click it thus easier for the user. That button is not used anyway (unless when you are selecting units).

Most mouse drivers allow key mapping. I always bind the pause and speed keys to one of my mouse buttons. You could do the same for closing.

I was surprised the right-click has no function in EU3... strange for Paradox.

Yeah, that city screen ocupying half of the total screen is very annoying...
But I don't know if the right click button could be the solution...

The solution is to get a larger monitor, which I will do next month. But that click will make it more convenient for the user.
