Easy Sign Manuvering

    In the current TPT, Sign/Comment Manuvering is VERY hard. You have to go to the "tools" section, and then the "Comment" Section. Once you've got there, It's another thing to DELETE or MOVE it. You have to click"Tool > Commnet" and then click PRESICELY on the Comment. Then you have to click "Delete/Move", and you're done. It's very hard and requires a lot of time.

     

    So I propose a new idea.

     

    1. Please make the "Delete" function delete signs, too.

    2. Please make signs movable/deletable just by clicking presicely on them - without the need to click "Tools > Comment".

     1. When you say "Delete", do you mean right click or delete walls? Jacob1's mod contains a tool that erases all elements, walls, and signs, though I would like to see it in the official Powder Toy.

     2. Some signs do stuff when clicked (links or sparkable buttons) so that would not work as well.

    I think a nice compromise would be that holding ctrl and clicking a sign (with sign tool selected) could move it without needing to deal with the interface.

    And yeah I should add that "delete everything" wall sometime ...

    I agree sign is hard to move around.

    @Jacob1 You should make it work NOT with the sign tool selected. ctrl+click won't affect any link in the sign.

    Delete sign: Ctrl+x , click-drag

    Move sign: Ctrl+x , click-drag, Ctrl+v , Up/Down/Left/Right (to move it precisely one px up/down/left/right respectively)

     

    Now that wasn't so hard was it?

     

    PS Make sure you do this to the sticky outy liney bit of the sign. And if you want to see the sign move (instead of just the sticky outy bit) you need to cut out the whole thing. Keep in mind it will also cut out what is behind the sign.

    @Schicko, yup, that's wasn't so hard.
