Finally I was able to sort out most of the issues I introduced with keyboard shortcuts and add two last shortcuts, ‘Ctrl-G’ to open the “Generate World“ dialog, and ‘Ctrl-F’ to toggle fullscreen mode. I also changed the Save, Load, and Export dialog shortcuts to require the Ctrl key to be pressed at the same time to activate.

I’m kinda miffed by the amount of time it took just to get these last five shortcuts working. I was originally planning on adding more shortcut-related features for this release but I don’t think it’s worth the effort at this point. Therefore, I’m moving on to work on the last feature for this release, the aforementioned ‘secret‘ task. Again, its not going to be a big deal. Though I don’t want to reveal too much about it until it’s nearly ready. My hope is to get it done rather quickly, so expect this to take two to three weekends.

By this point it might be fairly obvious that I’m not going to get the public release ready for the end of March. So now I’m aiming for a release near the end of April. Even though it’s possible I could be able to finish sooner, I want to at least dedicate two weekends to work on some old issues and perform some good amount of testing before releasing. The previous alpha releases were riddled with bugs and I don’t want to let those squirm their way out onto to the public release.
