> We have a quick question concerning menu and key-configuration 
> preferences. Audio Game Maker is likely to feature several menu's and we 
> would like to know what key-configuration you prefer most. The menus will 
> consist of a list of parameters. The goal is that you browse to a 
> parameter and then change that paramater. A parameter could be a certain 
> sound from a list of sounds, or a number from a range of numbers. So 
> changing the parameter will maybe be like browsing through a list as well 
> (although number variables also probably can be filled in using the number 
> keys).

>
> Option 1:
> 1. browse parameter: cursor key up and down
> 2. change parameter (with the focus on a parameter): cursor key left and 
> right
> 3. back/menu up: escape

> Option 2:
> 1. browse parameter: cursor key up and down
> 2. select parameter: enter
> 3. change parameter: cursor key left and right
> 4. confirm parameter/back: enter
> 5. back/menu up: escape

> 2. select parameter: space

> 4. confirm parameter/back: space
> 5. back/menu up: enter

> navigating menus and what key configuration would you prefer. And yes, we 
> know that the best configuration would probably be the one where players 
> would configure the keys themselves (which is an option we are 
> considering). But for now: what is your preferred configuration?
