Tribute

[Pris Flynn]

I was looking for the keyboard code for remote access to Tribute. I
searched through the FAQ using the computer search tool and did locate
references to the origin of the Tribute system and the later expansion to
guild tribute. However, I could not find the answer to my question. Nor,
could I find it on the eqplayers (Sony) database. Finally I found it on
Allakhazam.

Point: If details on Tribute are in FAQ I could not find them.
Point: If the information is not there, perhaps that would be something to
add.

I could imagine adding an FAQ about how tribute works. It could
even include the key (alt-U by default) for accessing it away
from the tribute master.

More generally, though, note that you can find ALL the "keyboard codes"
by opening your Options window to the Keys tab. (Tribute Window toggle
is under UI keys.) I highly recommend skimming the list of features in
the Keys options just to see what's available; you may find many other
features that you didn't realise have been just a keystroke away. Plus
some features do not have default keys but you can assign one; I think
cycling through available targets may be one such feature.

The Options/Keys window is mentioned in a few places in the FAQ, but I'm
thinking I should add a question along the lines of, "What key opens
the <whatever> window? What's the key for doing <whatever>?" that just
refers folks to that option tab.

I periodically take 5 or 10 minutes and just cruise thru the key
assignments to see what's available. Not only does it change from
time to time, but you may find something that seemed useless in the
past, but that you can now take full advantage of.

In addition to finding some features that you want to assign keys to,
you may want to *remove* some key assignments. I've done that for
keys that I know I will never use, either to free up those keys for
other uses, or because I'm afraid that pressing a particular key will
get me into a state that I'm going to have trouble recovering from.
For example, some keys toggle visibility of UI elements that I know I
always want to see... no point in having the key and maybe pressing it
by accident in the heat of battle.
