Hmmm, good point. Undo is going to take more work. I could move it to the other side of the keyboard until then ?
That would be perfect. :)
Hmmm, it's pretty packed over there, could you make a recommendation ?

Seems a hot key that could do that much damage to a campaign file should be something to the tune of Ctl, Atl, click tab three times then dance like a monkey, press enter, or some a tad less drastic. :)
like Ctl Alt O.

OK, I updated the keystroke to CTRL-SHIFT-O. Let's see how that goes. I'll also bump the priority on introducing undo for 1.3.

Build 24 (4/23/2007)
* Fix typo: Delete map confirmation, update "zone" to "map"

Or even better.

* Hide Map - to be consistent with the first two and make it shorter
* Enable FoW - to make it shorter
Actually, I would prefer the longer one.

How many people are going to know what "FoW" means the first time they use the software?

(Hmm, maybe "fog-of-war" isn't particularly better in terms of being self-explanatory, but it's better than an industry-specific acronym. :))

The suggestion was made to perhaps address the current problem of the shortcuts overwriting the menu text.

About as many as know what fog-of-war means in the first place. A very small number approaching 0. :)
