A Very Simple Control Change with a Large Impact

[Wasteland Watcher]

Hinterland,
Can you please add an optional "auto-move" button control so we don't have to hold down the button to walk straight ahead?

In the 546 hours I've played since I first got TLD in December, that's a control I always am thinking I wish was available. 
Thanks for taking the time to read this

I use small coins jammed between the keys. Works quite well, actually!

I do "middle finger" exercises to hold my key down! After all......It's the election season!

I use OHK to emulate pressed key. Ever since Shadow of Mordor find it  to extremely useful.

Not yet, at least! I don't think it will, to be honest. I only do it when I'm trying to eat or roll cigarettes while I'm playing.

 I've never heard of "OHK." I should look into it. 

 In the years and years of gaming I've been doing I'm finding more more games come with an "auto move" function so I think I've become a little bit spoiled by it

This and perhaps the character wont break every bone in their body after jumping down from a 3 foot incline.

I'm just waiting for an auto-move button so my finger doesn't get tired any more

here's my current solution...

works really well when walking in a long straight line, over encumbered, against the wind...  provided you don't run into

Very creative lol

I sure hope that it's built into the game though in an upcoming update

I've used loose change taped together into a stack to hold down that key.

Unfortunately I spent that loose change some time ago and have no pictures of it . . .

Besides, it wouldn't work too well on the laptop, since, well, it's in my lap and moving around too much to stay put . . .

Stories like this underscore the need for 'automove' to be implemented!

Thanks for sharing

This seems like an easy feature that would satisfy a lot people.

You just need to replace the push button in the "W" key with a single switch double throw lever.
