Set Potion Petition to the "A" key, instead of the "a" key.


Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Set Potion Petition to the "A" key, instead of the "a" key.

Minor quality of life change that stops eligible candidates from vibrating over the "a" key and wasting a pot petition.

Unless it was intentional, as to showcase how greedy Gozag. Because if so, kudos.

also, refrain from making scrolls "r", potions "q", ect ect.

I think all of them should go to capital letters.

That would be great! I have a shaking problem with my hands, it's not so bad, but my keyboard is delicate! So I fat finger things a lot. Adjusting it works, but sometimes I forget, and it's not usually a problem until I mess up a potion petition.

Note that even if it doesn't get made the default, you can do this yourself with =

What's what I was referencing when I said "adjust"! Yeah, thank you still.

If you play offline, add it to init.txt into settings directory of your crawl folder.
If you play online, there is usually a "edit the settings file" link on crawl page, just click it and paste the content into form.
