Hi Krin,
Thank you for setting up the key shortcuts as they are very helpful. However, I have noticed that they are not available in any other region or area except for the Lost Grove & the Ancient Temple. For me, I really like having them as it makes playing the game a lot easier and I know many other users have said the same thing.
But I feel that these shortcuts should be available in every single region for any new players who might have disabilities so they don't have to wait till basically the "end" of the game to actually feel like they can play the game. As I have been seeing from various users, there is difficulty playing the game in the earlier regions because there aren't these shortcuts. Which leaves the players feeling frustrated and wanting to quit the game. This doesn't seem very newbie friendly, especially to those who have disabilities that make it hard for them to play the game as others can with battling.
I can only assume that since now you have the code for this ironed out as it is working great in the Lost Grove, this will mean a couple of tweaks to the existing code for all the other areas so that everyone can play the game. I hope this is something that can happen sooner rather than later to make sure that everyone has a great time playing this wonderful game that I have loved for the past 6 years!

I planned on implementing the hotkey use, as it is in the Lost Grove now, to at least the Astryl's Vale Zones and Festival Zones by the Spring Festival.
For Viridian Meadows and Umbra Forest, I am not sure and will have to look closer later on.
It unfortunately isn't quite as easy as it would seem. The biggest issue is in how the buttons load. With the Lost Grove, everything is just basically one lump of files. For Astryl's Vale/Festival Zones, we're now talking about 6 different files. For the original two Regions, it's even more.
In order to do the Lost Grove change, I had to manually edit basically every button it produces. Fortunately, since the Lost Grove is pretty uniform in its code, it was very easy to just Ctrl+F and copy/paste the needed code for the buttons. The previous regions are not nearly as uniform and it will take considerably longer to do that.
But I will try - especially for the Spring Festival.
