If it's easy... I just realized it was "missing" today. :D
I'm not sure if Simutrans *has* double-click detection though, so this may be quickly denied - but I thought I'd ask. :)
I've never seen any double-click actions in simutrans, wich would be pretty odd if the system would have double-click detection. But I like the idea and I hope it's possible.
Double click detection clross platform is no easy. It may work with SDL 1.3, but not with allegro.
was good to check, thanks for answer :)
Like clipboard, it could work only on some systems for useful but not vital commands.
If simutrans can't detect double-click easily, what if we try something like Ctrl+click?
I believe that, before you could select overhead tracks, ctrl+click was used to place signals on the upper track like when placing signals on bridges.
EDIT: Just remembered, Ctrl+click when using a tunnel tool is also used to only create a tunnel entrance, not the whole thing.
Isaac's suggestion is implemented in rev 3638, thanks to Knightly.
Seems it's too late for (discussion of) this particular issue, but if the two functions are mutually exclusive (e.g., tunnel start and text field select), I can't think of a reason it couldn't be made context-specific and do both functions.
Excellent. I just tried it. :D
