Summary

0000387: Search feature missing F9 Abort on Manager New Job Menu

Description

Unable to search for items with a space in their name in manager new job screen when space is set to exit menu. 40d had F9 Abort as an option on this menu.

Steps To Reproduce

To reproduce:
1-Set the spacebar as the key to exit a menu (on title screen, key bindings)
j (job list)
m (manager)
q (new job)
Start typing: rock coffer

When you hit the space between rock and coffer, you will exit the menu.

Additional Information

I realize escape is set to be the menu escape but I absolutely hate that setup. Leaving a menu is something done many, many times while playing DF and the spacebar should remain an option.

Changing "LEAVE SCREEN" binding from ESC to space closes when typing in orders window

Notes
(0000847) Jiri Petru (reporter) 2010-04-04 04:57	Better yet is when you type "weapon rack" - not only it closes the screen but it also cancels a job order so quick you don't know what it was :) So, yeah, have the same problem. On the other hand, this is a question of interface consistency - i like that now you always use the same key for the same function. You can't really map it to F9 in this screen, because then that would be a nonsensical inconsistency for people using ESC as the cancellation key. By the way, what would happen if I map the cancellation key to for example "t"? Won't I be able to cut trees? I suppose so. So perhaps this is not a bug, it's just a consequence of bad key mapping on the user's part.
