Comments
Are there the ability to customize shortcut keys? That would be a big help for frequently used functions that are not currently set-up.
Not sure what happened but when adding base on or off a room. When you click the base twice quick to add and remove the base it now Brings up the room properties. This is really inconvenient when you have 50 to 300 rooms to do. I'm assuming that was an accidental hot key because it's not in the list of controls under right clicking fast, but it does say "Alt + Backspace Display Properties of Selected Room"... Any help on removing the hotkey would be great. Thanks
