Currently, whenever a scripted object takes your control input, a button marked "Release Keys" appears at the bottom of the screen. Clicking this button releases the controls, and if the items are attached, removes them. Presumably so they can't just re-request.

Unfortunately, this button can cause problems. Being that it's right there with the media controls, the chat bar, and history window, it's all too easy to click it accidentally, which suddenly results in you being stripped of many attachments. Not fun. The new RC only makes this issue far worse with the new positioning, which is exactly where the IM Recieves button usually goes. There seems to be universal agreement that this was a terrible design decision.

The leading idea for fixing this, is to remove the button entirely, and move the functionality to one of the top menus instead. As release keys is something that's used VERY rarely by the majority of people, there's really no need to have a button taking up screen space for it.

The World, Edit, View, and Tools menu, are the most popular locations. Personally, I think the tools menu makes the most sense, as it is conceptually similar to the Stop All Animations Option

Summary Move "Release Keys" enable us to hide/show this button, and to use it from a menu. Example: World > Release Keys. View > Release Keys. Hide the Release Keys button
Component/s Chat/IM [ 10021 ]
Description I was not sure which affected version/s to put this under. RC Please?


Enable us to be able to hide the Release Keys button, or move it.
Here how...
(1) World > Release keys

When we hit that, it releases keys, like if we hit the button from our screen, but it's in a menu, not on the screen in the way.

ALSO

(2) View > Release Key's

Open the menu and if it is: X Release Keys. Then the Release Keys button shows on screen, if it is not selected, thent he button does not show.

The button should also be moved for when it does show, or make is so we can drag and move that button ourselves.

Comment [ These are all exellent ideas, I might look at this further and make a quik design bar as an example.
For release keys, it needs to be taken out of the bars totaly and put in a menu at the top, tools or one of them.
Also id like to point out that when changes are made, they should and I am sure they are be listed and mentioned in the blog when the Release goes out. ]
