at times you have to keep pressing Q and W alternating them (or up and down etc)
perhaps it would be nice if you could record a sequence
eg:
you press A (to start 'recording'), then Q and W
if you then press S it will be the same as pressing Q, W, Q, W...

In the highly anticipated DROD 2.0, the CTRL key does just that. Hold down CTRL while making any move, and it magically executes the move immediately followed by the "complement" move. (e.g CTRL-Q = QW, CTRL-4 = 46 ... etc).

The "Citizen" rank that he has means that he's a beta tester and is in the know on certain things. Of course, this change was just put in this week, and there are already problems with the Undo key, so there are still bugs that need to be worked out. And before you ask, no, you can't map your own macros, and Mike isn't currently planning on allowing it either.

Game on,

Strictly speaking, the Ctrl-combinations have been in for a few weeks. We just neglected to document them until recently. And yeah, we're just now starting to beta test them since the testers didn't know about them. (The thing about beta testing is that what matters is how much a feature gets used, not how long it's been implemented .)
