Summary0002967: Wait key needs to be pressed constantly to advance time
DescriptionBefore the wait key (.) had to be held down to advance time.


Now I need to mash it to get time to go by. (Like you see a goblin near you, to make him charge after you you need to mash the . button, each press advances time one step and holding it has no effect.
Steps To ReproduceJust boot up adv mode and find another creature (moving things have the best effect.) and hold . the creature should only move one step per button press or whatever.

Next try holding . the time will simply advance once turn and nothing more.

Smoke from fire is a really good way to demonstrate this.

Have you tried altering the key repeat settings in keybindings?

No, it should be on by default however and movement keys work fine held down... but the wait key just moves time one step even if you held it down for a while.

In an unchanged DF 0.31.12, most of the various MOVE keybindings are set to repeat_fast. A_MOVE_WAIT (key 5/numpad 5) is set to repeat_slow. A_WAIT (key .) is set to repeat_not. As such, the described behavior seems to be intended - you can have time pass by holding 5, or changing the keybindings to have one of the wait keys to repeat faster.

Does that clear things up, toybasher? "It should be on by default" is an opinion, not a basis for a bug report.
