Key Arrows and Server Info/Name

[latinoloco]

Hey guys,

Played today for about 10 minutes and first thing i noticed that could be done and i dont think would be that hard to implement but very useful.

Being able to use the arrow keys up and down to scroll through the internet game server list to go up and down each one rather than having to click on each one. Simple. Just ease of use.

Second, inside the game being able to see the name of the server. Cause I find myself wanting to leave and come back later but I forget the name of the server that I joined. So when i wanna leave itd be good to see what the name is so i can find it later when i come back.

What does everyone think?

I second that. I like the idea.

Both sound good, however, you can see the server you joined the last time at the very bottom of your list. Still it'd be useful to see the name in-game.

Since we are on that topic, something like a "Favorite-Server List" would be great

It sounds like the multiplayer window needs a revamp. More user friendly and more options avalible.

Perfectly good suggestions here. They seem both small enough to be doable, and nevertheless an enhancement to usability.

I've made a patch for the scrolling in the server list.
