[FEAT] A help-/status-overlay that displays all relevant shortcuts. #74

Closed exo-cortex closed 11 months ago

exo-cortex commented 11 months ago

When pressing F1 there could appear a (maybe slightly transparent) overlay that displays all relevant shortcuts - the ones that are in the README.md. F1 could either toggle the commands, or only show them while pressed.

Other information that could appear in this overlay could be: -framerate -information about the graphics card -shadplay version number

There is a help menu bound to ? Which displays the keybindings.

Framerate and GPU info could be cool, I normally use NVTOP or Radeontop for GPU usage info etc.

Thank you. Maybe this could be mentioned in the Readme atop of the shortcut-table. This tool is really fun!

One thing that could be nice: a path in the config.toml that stores a user's shaders. The program could also be started with a path given to the user's shader-folder. (btw is it ok if I dump any ideas that I have into this thread?)

I need to update the readme for that TY!

Go for it!

Why keep shaders somewhere other than the assets/shaders path? Just out of curiosity -- it's where bevy looks for them by default, or are you thinking it as some way of extending the versioning system (which I'm totally into btw)
