discussion Other Ren'Py Keyboard select / (auto fwd, Qsave, scroll fwd) [1.0]

[deulym]

DESCRIPTION:
Sharing some small quality of life changes I've used for years, and can't live without anymore when playing any Ren'Py game.

(I did not make the Scroll wheel and menu select, I just merged them with my basic keymap changes)
Creator: Parceload (Menu select)

Features:

• Select menu/dialogue options with keys: 1 - 9
• Auto forward keybinds: (default: q.)
• Quick Save (F5) and Quick Load (F9)
• Scroll wheel to advance or rollback through dialogue

Notes:
Dialogue choice keybind works on almost all games Ive tested over the years with a few rare exceptions.

Spoiler

If you get an error when launching the game containing this error: screen NEWchoice(*args, **kwargs) it's one of those few incompatible games.
Just delete that section of the mod file to solve the error.

I got fed up by the auto forward either not having a keybind, or being removed from the interface entirely in some games so added it to q. (personal preference)
Can be changed to unused keys of preference, as "q" is often mapped to hide quick menu in many games.

INSTALL:
Just toss the file into the game folder.

Attached versions:

ZdeuALL: All of the features merged.
Zdeu: Only Auto forward, Qsave and Qload keybinds.
Zdeumenu: Number key selection and Auto fwd, QS, QL.
Zdeuscroll: Scroll wheel click and Auto FWD, QS, QL

Of course, these additions are very simple fixes and are meant for people like myself who don't know much about Renpy or coding. Most people here seem to be way more knowledgeable than on a certain other forum. But just thought I might as well leave them here for the few who care about these specific settings. I used to have way more with settings for different gamepads and misc but hdd died.

On that note, if anyone has some other general or niche quality of life additions, and/or custom settings to share I'd love some tips.
