Suggestion for shortkeys for diffferent maps - 12/6/2019 1:13:22 AM

I have a suggestion that shouldn't be too complicated to implement but that I (and presumably other people as well) would find quite useful.

My suggestion is simply that CMO should include short keys to switch from these brand new and so beautiful different map types. I find myself needing to switch between maps quite often in any scenario were much of the action happens over land (Typical example: the great scenario Under African Skies) as opposed to scenarios where action is over the sea.

Since we necessarily live in the best of all possible worlds, as the philosopher Leibniz so wisely said, where the institutionalized slaughter of other men and women in the form we call war is a regular feature of life and with the existence of war being a prerequisite for the construction of the greatest game ever developed, there also happens to be exactly 12 items on the View roll down menu in CMO that deals with maps and surely it can't be a mere coincidence that a standard QWERTY keyboard also has 12 function keys.

It is obvious that these items (Map Lat/Long Grid, Sentinel-2 satellite map, BMNG Layer... Day + Night Lightning and 3D View) were meant to be paired with these function keys, for example Alt + F1... F12 or Maybe Alt + Shift + F1... F12 or whatever else pairings the developers prefer to choose.

Surely we live in the greatest of all possible worlds. Why would God, in his omnipotence and all-goodness, construct a world which is not the the best possible?

Still, I of course understand that the developers are occupied with more important work for the time being and don't expect this to be implemented with anything like the highest priority.

Thanks in advance to the developers!

PS. Some sarcasm and humor can be found in this post and it should not be taken as a criticism of any religion - only of the philosophy of Gottfried W Leibniz.

I'd like to have a better idea implemented: custom hotkey setting for all or much of the functions provided by the menu or even more

Every developers favourite thing to hear... What could ever go wrong with assigning Alt+F4 as a hotkey?

Jokes aside, the feature request thread is the best place to put this.
