Guild Wars 2

Hi !

I’m currently playing this game and I found a little problem.

When I delete or buy (market) an item, a confirmation message appear. Then, I have to confirm my action with a mouse click.

But the task become annoying when I have to delete/buy a lot of items.

In other games we can press the enter key to confirm the action. Why not in Guild Wars 2 ?

It can be something simple to do in the code like this :

if(keyPressed == Keys.ENTER)
{
	boolean confirmationDone = false;
	
	for(Message message : currentMessages)
        {
	       if(message.waitConfirmation)
               {
	              message.confirm();
		      confirmationDone = true;
		      break;
	       }
	}

	if(confirmationDone == false)
        {
               focusChat();
	}
}

Thanks a lot for reading me.

Been suggested since the betas (enter, spacebar, an assignable key, WHATEVER). ANET’s response? Silence. ANET’s apparent actions on this front? Nothing.

Expect no change.

So disappointing, after ~2 years…

Waiting for an official response.

My guess is that people who knew how those parts of code worked are now long gone.

It would be nice if they added this, the game already involves quite some clicking. However, this shouldn’t be used for everything because it can be quite easy to accidentally confirm something with a hotkey if you are doing several things at once. On the trade post it wouldn’t matter because you probably shouldn’t be fighting when you do. But in other cases it can be possible that such a dialog pops up while you are typing or fighting and have an accidental confirm or cancel.

I’m pretty sure that they have documentation on their systems, otherwise it would be virtually impossible to maintain such a giant sourcecode if they ever want to change anything at all.
