That should do it. But currently ALT also removes immovables (trees, rocks and so on) from the map like SHIFT does. But this is maybe another bug... Creating such help texts is a difficult task: It has to be short but exactly as it can be. Top Quote

Another possibility would be to split the Tools section in the help like we have in "in Game help" with the Shortcuts of the messagebox: `Keybord Shortcuts: * ... * ... Additional for Height and Ressources tool: * Shift (hold) + Click: Decreases height to the value selected by "In/Decrease" * Ctrl (hold) + Click: Sets height to the value selected by "Set Value" Noise height tool: * Shift (hold) or CTRL (hold) + Click: Sets height to the value selected by "Set Value"` Edited: 2016-04-04, 08:37 Top Quote

This is the result with some reordering and readjusting ( i think "1-0: Change tool size" fits better in the Tools section): Top Quote

I will do some minor adjustments then (e.g. we have "toggle", but "sets" - this is inconsistent, it should e "set", and Title Case needs fixing). Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

Posts in the bug/merge proposal would then be automatically posted in the forum (linked thread) as well... Top Quote

While it would be nice to have, I don't think it's worth SirVer's time - he's just too busy. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote
