Menu cursor scroll speed

[beetlesheII]

When you hold down the up or down key in a menu, the cursor scrolls automatically. How do I change the speed at which this scroll happens? It's a bit uncomfortably slow for me

Interesting, never thought it could be considered slow.

You would have to replace the Input.repeat? function which all interactive windows use to navigate through lists. For that, it uses a long initial interval and a repeating shorter interval rooted to the game's target framerate (60) to only confirm inputs when a key is pressed for time long enough.

While that's possible to do, the official Input module is not a part of the engine-code that is available open-for-edit. Did a little try on this task, written in Notepad. This is completely untested.

Config: …_BASE is initial (set to 12 frames), …_INTERVAL is short (set to 3 frames).

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed!

The thing about the slow menu is probably just a personal thing, I just like making menus as snappy as possible. Weird how this interval isn't a part of any of the given code, but this script def does the trick.

You wouldn't mind if I used this? Given credit ofc.
Thanks again !
