I just stuck my head momentarily into the "misclick" thread and, despite that, may have come up with a reasonable thought.
One poster mentioned that his most common misclick was that silly dodge our mummy's love to make instead of ending a move into a bunch of TZs (or the gfi at the end of the move to the perfect spot). Would it be possible to add a "move and end" option similar to "stand up/end" and "revive/end"?
It seems like a pretty straight forward and useful idea to me. Any objections? |

Well, I'm sure we could clutter up the interface with a Move/end option as well as the normal Move option. But how pissed off will the Elf players be when they misclick the wrong move option and can't dodge through TZ.
Back to the drawing board! |

Shouldn't happen if the option is separated physically from the move option:
move
blitz
foul
pass
handoff
move and end
stand and end |

i suppose if you've already blitzed and fouled and someone else has the ball, then this could still be a problem... But I still think it would be an improvement. |

It shouldn't happen if people connected their eyes -> brain -> fingers either. And it would be less work for Kalimar to implement. |

just adding extra actions to the list of already many actions will cause more "wha?" than "OH YES!" |

I agree that it's not hard. Is there any disagreement that it could be made easier? I don't know anything at all about programming, so I can't comment on how hard it would be for Kalimar.
I'm actually rather surprised that you guys feel the client action list is untidy... I've never felt that way at all. |

Stick to TT if you suffer from Parkinson's disease.... (joke).
But are you for real? I play most of my games under the influence of substances. and I really don't find it that hard to hit the correct option.
Perhaps (if you can afford it) get a better mouse, or avoid playing with touchpads.
Just some advise. (Drunk while typing). |

Again, I wasn't one of the people who was arguing that it was a big problem, I just noticed that some found it problematic and thought an option to make the client more friendly would probably be nice. :shrug: Nevermind, I guess. |

or maybe make it a user option? so those who have misclick problems could use it and those who think the action box is too cluttered could live without. |

While I agree that an 'undo' would be abuseable, an 'are you sure popup' for ANY 4+ or harder dodge would be fine with me. |

So you click 'move and end' and click the wrong square... |
