On Steam Workshop

Description:
You can now dismiss and confirm most messages with keyboard shortcuts!

– Whenever there is an "OK" or "Confirm" button, you will be able to press "C" to confirm
– Similarly, almost all windows, including notifications, can be dismissed with ESC (no more clickling to dismiss that annoying improve relations from Great Britain!)
– Also: resized notifications to be confined in a smaller space while I work on a notifications filter, since FUN’s notification filter is for now not compatible

PLEASE READ: HOW TO MAKE THE MOD WORK

Paradox does not allow overwriting the file defining keybord shortcuts, so this mod does not work without editing manually the relevant game file. No worries, here is the EASY FIX:

1. Navigate to the folder: Steam/steamapps/common/Victoria 3/game/gui. For Mac users the relevant steam folder is in: /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application Support/

2. Open the file: shortcuts.shortcuts

3. Add the following line (quotes included, see thumbnail) any line between the curly braces:
confirm = "C"

4. That’s it! Enjoy a LOT LESS CLICKING

New things that can be confirmed/Accepted with C

Generic notifications popus

Several decisions including:
– Diplomatic actions
– Country Releases
– Diplomatic offers
– Mobilize Generals
– Capitulations

New things that can be dismissed with ESC

– All of the above
– Notification Toasts (those that make a lot of noise and appear at the center of the screen instead of the notification feed)
