| Summary | 0021906: Shift to deselect fleets | ||||
| Description | Holding shift can be used to add fleets to a selection on the galaxy map, but clicking again on a fleet doesn't de-select it. Seems like it should. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I might be mistaken, but I think alt + click performs this function on the galaxy map. It works for sure in planet view. |

If there's not already a gameplay tip on command modifiers... (shift to queue movement and attacks, shift and alt to modify selections, ctrl and alt to modify placements) ... then this is a good candidate for it. Maybe even a short tutorial is needed. |

Interesting. For me at least shift currently works for adding ships to a fleet. If you follow the general computing paradigm it makes sense to use the same button for deselecting. |

To describe the current selection methods: Click / Box (no modifier) = New selection, will replace any current selection Click / Box + Shift = Add to selection, will add ships or fleets to your current selection Click / Box + Alt = Remove from selection, will remove ships or fleets from your current selection There is no "toggle" modifier, where clicking ships already selected will deselect and vice-versa. And a note: all of these modifiers work with control groups as well: Hold shift and press 1, 2, 3 to select all 3 fleets, hold alt and press 2 to remove fleet 2 from the selection (leaving you with just 1 and 3 selected). |

Thanks. > Click / Box + Alt = Remove from selection, will remove ships or fleets from your current selection This runs counter to how shift usually works. Players will be used to using shift for select/deselect because that's how it works in most operating systems. |
