Why wouldn't a person just open the escape menu, select the shortcut tab, select the combat tab, select the lock target shortcut and click the clear shortcut button?
What?
And target ships by selecting them, then clicking the "target selected item" button in the "selected item" box?
Or is there some other way of targeting things? That's a genuine question.

Supported. I, too, am sick of having to carefully select a distant planet before thinking about targeting anything with my scram hot, to avoid accidentally CONCORDing myself.

How this got deployed is beyond any reasonable explanation. I noticed it within minutes of log-in after that patch and it has been driving me nuts ever since. It's been a helluva long time, I've forgotten what its like to target something without having to do some voodoo on the ctrl key while frantically clicking in the overview. Fix this crap before I break my keyboard out of sheer frustration. |

That's a separate issue.
What we are talking about is the misuse of the Ctrl modifier key to become a post-action-command key, where you have to Click then press Ctrl.
Ctrl is a modifier key, and changing its behaviour from what people are used to throughout every other UI on the planet makes EVE that much harder to play and like (and thus, keep playing). CCP will most likely not get the answer "your UI is screwed up" on exit surveys, they'll just hear, "I don't like it."
Ok, so people want the control key to only do what it does by holding the key and clicking targets. The ability to click your targets and press a key to target afterwards is something people don't want.
I can kinda see that. But I feel you go back to the idea where a person can just remove the control key as the shortcut to target.
I mean if you remove the control key as being an entirely separate shortcut button you can use it as a modifier for any other shortcuts you have without the problem of "targeting" whatever you have selected when trying to use another shortcut.

Yet again, all this does is shift the problem over to a different key and does not return the previously useful functionality.

From just testing out the key, it appears to only target stuff selected in the overview when the overview is "in focus"
When I selected things out in space and then hit the control key nothing was targeted.
When I hold Control and click something in space it targets what I click in space.
I can hold control and click to target in the overview or I can click something in the overview and press control and it will target.
Might I ask if people have a shortcut set for "toggle lock target"? I'm not exactly sure what that shortcut does and haven't tested it.
From what I can tell is the problem is the fact that the overview is kept "in focus" when people press the control key and thus they target whatever the overview has selected.

Agreed, your description of this issue is 100% accurate. I didn't even know this was the issue until I read this thread. I target random stuff all the time now! Supported.

well written proposal and although I'm new I can tell the change (or revert) proposed would make much more sense.

I'm really tired of accidentally locking stuff just cause I have it selected and use control.

The converse also applies. Non-meta-keys should not function as meta keys.
Almost every other game (and app) on the planet uses an object-action syntax: you select the object on which you want to act, and then you press the button to choose the action. Not the other way around.
Consistent: I select a celestial, and then hit 'a' to align.
Inconsistent: I hit 'a' to align, and then align to the next thing I select (or to the thing I select when holding down 'a').
Use of the control meta (meta, not toggle) makes sense when I'm going to be doing the same thing to lots of different object in rapid succession (like locking). Even in such a case, holding down the meta key and not triggering an action (clicking, keystroke) should do either nothing or nothing significant.
In contrast, hotkeys make sense when you apply multiple actions to a single object. Like 'align' then 'warp'. Or F1, F2, F3 to fire off your scram, web and guns. But this requires hotkeys actually trigger the action, not function as modifier keys on an 'action-to-come'. |

Or they could just use the key up event like every other program on the planet...
