Resolves #5265

Objectives

Improve controls for multiplier on ghostStructures (building structures / firing atom bombs)

Description:

Note: as of 13/09/2026 implementation has changed, the new PR body reflects current implementation, but earlier discussion alludes to no longer existing issues (e,g. RightAlt/AltGr blocking)

  • Changes the hotkey multiplier progression from a fixed 1x/5x toggle to a stacking sequence (1 → 5 → 10 → 15...).
  • Add Alt+scroll for fine-grain ±1 adjustment of the multiplier, applying to any valid ghost structure target (e.g. hovering a city and scrolling adjusts city upgrade size by 1 at a time).
  • Prevent default on LeftAlt keydown/keyup globally — needed because Firefox opens its menu bar on Alt otherwise, and LeftAlt is the default keybinding for scroll modifier.
  • The scroll modifier is a dedicated keybind rather than a reuse of keybinds.altKey as action="altKey" is currently claimed by the graphics-refresh modifier, so routing this through it would attach scroll modifier to the graphics refresh modifier keybind.
    Hotkey: pressing a build hotkey while already hovering a matching ghost structure now steps the multiplier 1 → 5 → 10 → 15, etc., instead of toggling only between 1x and 5x. Applies to all existing ghost-structure targets (cities, silos, etc.), same as before.
    Alt+scroll: scrolling up/down while holding Alt adjusts the current multiplier by ±1. Applies to the same valid targets as the hotkey (not limited to nukes) — e.g. tapping the city hotkey then fine-tuning with Alt+scroll.

Implementation encompasses:

  • src/client/InputHandler.ts

    • Adds the mentioned features.
  • tests/InputHandler.test.ts

    • 2 tests for Alt prevention (prevents AltLeft, does not prevent AltRight)
    • 1 test that did not exist previously for shift+click attack ratio changing, relevant because of onScroll unification
    • 4 tests for scroll modifier (adds, substracts, clamps to min,clamps to max)
    • 1 test for hotkey tapping behavior.
  • src/core/game/Usersettings.ts

    • Adds corresponding keybinding
  • src/client/UserSettingModal.ts

    • Adds corresponding GUI for editing keybinding.
image
  • resources/lang/en.json
    • Adds relevant strings for the keybinding

Please complete the following:

  • I have added screenshots for all UI updates
  • I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file
  • I have added relevant tests to the test directory

Testing

  • Ran full 'npm test'. Full suite passes.
  • Manually tested both input methods in-game via npm run dev: hotkey stacking & Alt+scroll fine adjustment.
  • Manually tested rebinding of the scroll modifier.
    • There is a possible issue if the user rebinds to shift+somekey, as the hardcoded shift behavior prevents the usage of the scroll modifier.
      I have considered blocking shift+key as a valid keybind for the scroll modifier, but I believe it would be more appropiate to approach this issue by reworking the hardcoded shift attack ratio scroll behavior to also use customizable keybindings instead.

Why repost?

Regarding the previously bundled hold-click feature prototype:

  • Separation of concerns.
  • Possibility that either the click + hold behavior will not be desired or the hotkey tapping/scrolling.

Worth discussing:

It may be worthwhile (although outside the scope of this PR) to consider:

  • Extending multiplier behavior to structure ghosts not placed over preexisting & matching structures if the game has the "Instant Build" Modifier active (irrelevant otherwise).
  • Extending multiplier behavior to hydrogen bombs/MIRVS for those ultra-high/infinte gold custom lobbies.

Walkthrough

InputHandler now processes Alt and Shift scroll within onScroll. It applies bounded multiplier updates, preserves regular scroll behavior, prevents selected Alt key defaults, and adds interaction tests.

Changes

Ghost multiplier controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Alt input interception and routing
src/client/InputHandler.ts
Alt key events prevent browser defaults. Wheel events use onScroll for modifier handling.
Scroll routing and multiplier calculation

Shift scroll emits attack-ratio events. Alt scroll changes the active multiplier. Hotkey, increase, and decrease modes enforce the configured bounds.
Multiplier interaction tests
tests/InputHandler.test.ts
Tests cover Alt behavior, repeated hotkey changes, attack-ratio events, scroll direction, and multiplier limits.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Needs changes — 2 real issues found (1 high, 1 medium). The core multiplier-progression logic (1 to 5 to 10 to 15..., clamped to MAX_UPGRADE_AMOUNT) is correct; the issues are in the Alt-key handling this PR adds.

Findings by severity: High: 1, Medium: 1, Low: 0

File: src/client/InputHandler.ts

[High] Alt+click with an active ghost structure is silently swallowed (src/client/InputHandler.ts:864-871)

if (this.activeKeys.has(this.keybinds.emojiMenuModifier)) {
  this.suppressNextTap = false;
  if (this.uiState.ghostStructure === null) {
    this.eventBus.emit(
      new ShowEmojiMenuEvent(event.clientX, event.clientY),
    );
  }
  return;
}

The new if (this.uiState.ghostStructure === null) guard correctly suppresses the emoji menu while a ghost structure is active, but the return right after it is still unconditional and unguarded. When Alt (emojiMenuModifier, default "AltLeft") is held and a ghost structure is active, the click now emits neither ShowEmojiMenuEvent nor the placement path (MouseUpEvent/ContextMenuEvent) further down the function, so the click does nothing. Since emojiMenuModifier and the new altKey (used by onAltScroll) default to the same key, "Alt held plus ghost active" is now the natural state right after using the new Alt+scroll fine-adjustment feature, so this blocks placing a structure without releasing Alt first, with no feedback as to why. Suggested fix: move the placement fallthrough inside the guard (e.g. emit MouseUpEvent, or let execution continue to the normal placement logic) when ghostStructure !== null, instead of returning unconditionally.

[Medium] Alt keyup preventDefault only matches AltLeft, so the Firefox menu-bar bug this PR fixes still reproduces for AltRight (src/client/InputHandler.ts:708-710)

if (e.altKey || e.code === this.keybinds.altKey) {
  e.preventDefault();
}

This is in the keyup handler. Per the DOM KeyboardEvent spec, a modifier keys own keyup event reports that modifiers boolean flag as false (it reflects state after release), so e.altKey is always false on Alts own keyup, meaning that disjunct never fires here. That leaves only e.code === this.keybinds.altKey, and the default keybinds.altKey is "AltLeft" (src/core/game/UserSettings.ts:54), with no "AltRight" fallback. So releasing AltRight alone does not get preventDefault() called, and Firefoxs native menu-bar-open behavior, the exact bug this PR states it is fixing, still occurs for the right Alt key. (The keydown copy of this check at line ~587 does not have this problem, since e.altKey is true during the Alt keys own keydown.) Suggested fix: also match e.code === "AltRight" (or check e.key === "Alt") in the keyup guard.

Note: the new "Alt key default prevention" test (tests/InputHandler.test.ts) only dispatches a keydown with code: "AltLeft", so it would not catch this since it does not exercise keyup or AltRight at all.

Reply to the latest Claude review

Re: onScroll Alt+scroll checks the raw physical Alt key instead of the rebindable keybinds.altKey action — src/client/InputHandler.ts:938

Implementation follows previous convention for shift scroll events.
As of right now (11/09/2026), as stated previously by Claude itself:

However, the settings UI (SettingKeybind.ts) explicitly rejects rebinding modifier actions to bare modifier keys (Alt/Ctrl/Shift/Meta, either side)

So the Issue is entirely hypothetical, if in the future more robust modifier key rebinding is implemented this can be revised accordingly, but it will most likely involve a sizeable rework of the entire InputHandler modifier logic and run into several issues with cross-platform compatibility.

No changes coming from me on this one, there's nothing to actually fix for the current codebase.

@Pesinario The concern still applies.

SettingKeybind.ts rejects a bare modifier key only during key capture. It does not prevent rebinding altKey to a non-modifier key.

InputHandler.ts supports this configuration. Its reset-graphics condition checks activeKeys.has(this.keybinds.altKey) when altKey is not a modifier. The test suite also sets keybinds.altKey to "KeyK".

With that valid configuration:

  • KeyK + scroll does not adjust the multiplier.
  • Physical Alt + scroll still adjusts the multiplier.

Therefore, Line 938 does not follow the configured altKey action. The Alt-scroll condition must use the configured binding, or the feature must be documented as intentionally fixed to physical Alt and separate from keybinds.altKey.

Learning: In `src/client/InputHandler.ts`, Shift-scroll has priority over Alt-scroll when both modifier keys are active. Shift-scroll changes `AttackRatio` and is associated with warship control mode. Do not recommend suppressing `InputHandler.onShiftScroll` when `WheelEvent.altKey` is true.

Update: After becoming aware of #3962's fix, I'm revising scope and implementation to include a dedicated keybind for scroll multiplier modification, to conform to new standards. Marked as draft in the meantime.

@Pesinario

Copy Markdown
Contributor Author

TL;DR: Implementation changed significantly since previous reviews, I believe ignoring them is best at this point.

Following up on telling CodeRabbit there was nothing to fix here (see my earlier reply): What changed is I ran into #3962's fix, which shows action="altKey" is already used by the graphics-refresh modifier. So reusing keybinds.altKey for the scroll modifier like CodeRabbit suggested wasn't actually safe, as keybinds.altKey actually represents the graphics refresh modifier, rebinding one would rebind the other, since they'd share the same setting.

Added a separate, dedicated keybind for the scroll modifier instead. PR body is updated to match. The earlier RightAlt/AltGr blocking comments are from an older version of the code and (hopefully) don't apply anymore.

One thing worth flagging: if someone rebinds the scroll modifier to Shift+key, the hardcoded Shift-scroll (attack ratio) behavior wins and blocks it, as mentioned in the PR body: My take is the real fix is reworking that hardcoded Shift behavior to use a keybind too, but that's its own PR.

Un-drafting this now, to let AI review fire again.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Approve with one logic issue to fix — the multiplier/scroll logic itself is sound, but the new keybind's conflict-detection allowlist has a gap.

Findings by severity: 1 medium, 0 high, 0 low

src/client/UserSettingModal.ts

[Medium] Spurious keybind-conflict when restoring buildScrollModifier's own default — src/client/UserSettingModal.ts:247

The PR adds buildScrollModifier (default AltLeft), which now makes three actions default to AltLeft: altKey, emojiMenuModifier, and buildScrollModifier. The new shared-modifier allowlist only adds the pair:

{ actions: ["buildScrollModifier", "altKey"], keyPrefix: "Alt" },

There's no { actions: ["buildScrollModifier", "emojiMenuModifier"], keyPrefix: "Alt" } entry, and isAllowedSharedModifier only checks the literal pairs in ALLOWED_SHARED_MODIFIERS (no transitive/merged-set logic).

Failure scenario: a user rebinds (or unbinds) altKey away from AltLeft, then tries to (re)bind buildScrollModifier back to AltLeft (its own shipped default). The conflict check compares against all other active bindings, finds emojiMenuModifier still on AltLeft, finds no allowlist pair that covers {buildScrollModifier, emojiMenuModifier}, and rejects the change with a false "keybind conflict," reverting the input. The same breaks symmetrically for rebinding emojiMenuModifier back to AltLeft in that state. Today this is masked only because altKey happens to also default to AltLeft.

Suggested fix: add the missing allowlist entry:

{ actions: ["buildScrollModifier", "emojiMenuModifier"], keyPrefix: "Alt" },

No other high-signal issues found. The multiplier stepping/clamping/wraparound logic in setGhostStructure, the onScroll branch-priority rewrite (shift-scroll → build-scroll-modifier → alt-held → ctrl/pinch-zoom → default zoom), and the AltLeft-only preventDefault() were all traced against the new tests and are internally consistent. i18n strings are correctly routed through translateText() with matching resources/lang/en.json entries.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Needs a small fix before merge — one real logic bug in the new multiplier-stepping code, plus a minor test-coverage gap and a latent test bug. Findings: 1 High, 2 Low.

src/client/InputHandler.ts

[High] Hotkey stepping wraps to 1 instead of clamping to 50 when the multiplier is off the 1/5/10.../50 gridsetGhostStructure, "hotkey" case (~lines 1099-1107)

case "hotkey":
  this.uiState.upgradeMultiplier =
    currentMultiplier === 1 ? 5 : currentMultiplier + 5;
  if (this.uiState.upgradeMultiplier > MAX_UPGRADE_AMOUNT) {
    this.uiState.upgradeMultiplier = 1;
  }
  break;

The new Alt+scroll gesture ("increase"/"decrease") lets the multiplier land on any integer in [1, MAX_UPGRADE_AMOUNT], not just multiples of 5. Once off-grid, a subsequent hotkey tap can overshoot MAX_UPGRADE_AMOUNT (50) and wrap straight to 1 instead of clamping — e.g. scroll to 47, then tap the build hotkey: 47 + 5 = 52 > 50 → resets to 1, silently discarding the fine-tuned value. Any starting value in 46-49 hits this; also, from an off-grid start (mod-5 ≠ 0) the hotkey cycle can never land exactly on 50.

Suggested fix: clamp instead of unconditionally wrapping, only looping back to 1 once already at the max, e.g.:

this.uiState.upgradeMultiplier =
  currentMultiplier >= MAX_UPGRADE_AMOUNT
    ? 1
    : currentMultiplier === 1
      ? 5

tests/InputHandler.test.ts

[Low] beforeEach double setKeybinds call silently discards the first override (~lines 1352-1354)

testSettings.setKeybinds({ buildAtomBomb: "Digit8" });
testSettings.setKeybinds({ buildScrollModifier: "F13" });

UserSettings.setKeybinds() (src/core/game/UserSettings.ts:839-845) fully overwrites the stored keybinds blob rather than merging, so the second call discards the first — buildAtomBomb ends up sourced from getDefaultKeybinds() rather than this explicit override. The test currently passes only because "Digit8" happens to already be the default for buildAtomBomb, so this is a latent bug that would silently break the test's intent if that default ever changed. Fix: merge into a single call — testSettings.setKeybinds({ buildAtomBomb: "Digit8", buildScrollModifier: "F13" }).

src/core/game/UserSettings.ts

[Low] New default keybind untested, per CLAUDE.md's src/core testing rule (lines 45-46)

buildScrollModifier: "AltLeft",

CLAUDE.md states: "All src/core changes must include tests." The sibling default buildMenuModifier, added via the same getDefaultKeybinds() pattern, is explicitly asserted in tests/UserSettings.test.ts's describe("getDefaultKeybinds", ...) block (~lines 567-580), but no equivalent assertion was added for the new buildScrollModifier default. The new tests/InputHandler.test.ts cases override this keybind (setKeybinds({ buildScrollModifier: "F13" })) rather than exercising the shipped default, so nothing in the suite would catch a regression to this value. Suggested fix: add expect(keybinds.buildScrollModifier).toBe("AltLeft") alongside the existing getDefaultKeybinds assertions.

tests/InputHandler.test.ts:1353-1354 (high — test bug, will fail)

testSettings.setKeybinds({ buildAtomBomb: "F14" });
testSettings.setKeybinds({ buildScrollModifier: "F13" });

UserSettings.setKeybinds() (src/core/game/UserSettings.ts:839-845) does a full overwrite of storage — this.setString(KEYBINDS_KEY, JSON.stringify(value)) — not a merge. The second call above replaces the stored keybinds with {"buildScrollModifier":"F13"}, discarding buildAtomBomb: "F14" from the first call. Since keybinds() merges saved keybinds over the defaults, buildAtomBomb then resolves back to its default ("Digit8"), not "F14".

This breaks the very next test, "repeated hotkey taps increase the build multiplier by 5 each time and loop", which dispatches new KeyboardEvent("keyup", { code: "F14" }). Since no keybind maps to F14 anymore, setGhostStructure is never invoked, and the first assertion (expect(inputHandler["uiState"].ghostStructure).toBe(UnitType.AtomBomb)) will fail.

Suggested fix: combine into a single call so both bindings are preserved:

testSettings.setKeybinds({ buildAtomBomb: "F14", buildScrollModifier: "F13" });
