Description Matteo Settenvini 2005-02-14 04:49:54 UTC
After having overwritten almost all of my saved snapshots just because I was used to Shift+Fx to save and Fx to load them, I went and I checked the manual.

As I thought, also the manual (the faq, to be exact) says that:
 * Shift+Fx has to be to save, which makes sense, since being a "destructive" operation (overwrites old snapshots) should require "more effort" (a key combination instead of a simple key press)
 * Fx is to load saved games

So I went and changed the source to fix this awful (and counter-intuitive) default. Attachments follow (patch & modified ebuild).
