Starmade | radial menu button conflicts with auto complete button
Closed, FinishedPublic
Actions

Description

If you have chat or any text field highlighted, Tab will still open the radial menu.
It's probably not a good idea to remove this since you want the radial menu accessible from everywhere.

Problem is that Tab is also used for auto completing player names/admin commands/... Every time you use it, you see the beginning of the radial menu pop up.
And moving the auto complete button to somewhere else is probably not a good idea either, auto complete is set to Tab in pretty much every other program.

A possible solution would be to require you to hold the Tab button for 300-500ms before it pops up, not sure if that would be noticeable/annoying though.

Intended to indicate to the player that he is in an active text field. Else the player might not know why the radial menu isn't working, so visual feedback is given onto what the functionality of tab is.
