From waiting for the ram scoops to do their job to running a long jump route the game has long stretches where the player has nothing to do but wait for the game to finish the requested action. This PR gives the player hotkeys to up the frame rate so that they can skip boring parts.  How can this be improved?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/comments/289280381","html_url":"https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/pull/2245#issuecomment-289280381","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/2245","id":289280381,"user":{"login":"zwparchman","id":1923192,"avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/1923192?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/zwparchman","html_url":"https://github.com/zwparchman","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zwparchman/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zwparchman/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zwparchman/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zwparchman/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zwparchman/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zwparchman/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zwparchman/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zwparchman/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zwparchman/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-03-26T12:36:04Z","updated_at":"2017-03-26T12:36:04Z","body":"Good call on the skipping frames, but why hard coded Caps lock? Why toggling? Why 3 times? 8 times was perfectly manageable when waiting on events or when in safe space (pretty much anywhere but human space). Quite often when I really want this feature I'm waiting and not controlling my ship.  I think that something like this PR with @tehhowch's suggested changes would be better since it has multiple levels of fast forward speed and uses customizable hotkeys. Is there something I can do to bring those benefits into the main branch?"}}
