Developer ramblings
Some behind-the scenes of this release...
As is usual in software development, adding a seemingly simple thing can turn into quite a bit of a headache. On the 5mods page, some users asked for hotkeys. This should be easy, but as I worked on it, it turned out to be quite the headache with how generic I wanted to do it.
From working on similar things in Manual Transmission, the code can quickly grow to be a big unmaintainable mess as more of these functions are added, e.g. functions that allow a user to change a very internal part of the program.
I spent quite a lot of my day banging my head against the wall. In the end I got a good result and it cleanly adds this functionality (or any functionality in the future) to the code without throwing in random bits and pieces. Going forward it's definitely a component I'll be re-using in my projects. Manual Transmission is a prime candidate for this, where I hopefully can use this to untangle it a bit.
