Ctrl + S and ask on save a level

[mat]

1. Ctrl + S as a shortcut for saving a level.
2. An option to disable a confirmation of changes in the level. It's a bit annoying to select "Yes" every time I want to save... (even with Enter key).

1. Button shortcuts do exist in the game, including saving, check descriptions on bottom of the screen when hovering cursor over needed option. To be more specific, Saving is done through Shift + S instead of Ctrl + S.

About asking on level saving... I find kind of pointless, but.. Eh, I guess it can be a valuable option.

Yes, but mat has a point here: People are so used to Ctrl+S for saving things that I should really change it to use that very common shortcut (or add it). (When I created this shortcut around 1995, Ctrl+S maybe wasn't that common, but nowadays it definitely is.)

Question dialogs like these are a safety thing if clicks or shortcuts for saving a level were used by accident, as they can easily destroy hard work. But I generally like the idea of being able to disable them if they are bothering you. On the other hand, even if not asking before, I would find it nice to have some sort of confirmations at least afterwards, but using a standard R'n'D confirmation dialog would make disabling the question dialog pointless. So what's really missing is some sort of overlay confirmation text that automatically disappears by fading out after a few seconds...

Oops, I missed the description of the save button. Thanks for help, Eizzoux! I will try to be more careful next time

Nice to hear that

Yes, I know about it. Nevertheless there is always the undo button so you can use it to fix what you broke (at least partially).

Fading out is a good idea. I would like to see that in the game.

One exception: if you changed configuration of elements, not the level, then you won't be able to undo with just a click of a button, you rather back it up or save the configuration as template. If you did your elements wrong and saved it without any backups, then, undo won't do a favor here. I remember someone also pointed that out here before as a problem of the game not remembering element config changes, but the undos are not just built around that
