Toggle between STARS/simulation command modes? #152

Closed catcarbon closed 5 months ago

catcarbon commented 6 months ago

With the addition of new STARS commands, command processing is becoming more complicated because of simulation commands with similar syntax. I wonder if using a key like Caps Lock to toggle between STARS/simulation command mode would help simplify and disambiguate command processing.

I also considered a separate command window but using a toggle key has the following advantages:

  1. No need to code for a separate command window and deal with switching window focus.
  2. Creates the least disruption to player workflow.

Done in the latest release (with TAB or clicking the window) to switch between STARS and a CLI in the bottom window.
