nicks visible? Shift hides nicks

Currently, if player nicknames are not visible, Shift will show these nicks.

My suggestion is to add: if nicks are visible, for example if you're standing (almost) still, make Shift hide nicks.

Shift could do two things.
If nicks are visible, Shift can hide the nicks.
If nicks are not visible, Shift can show nicks.
When a player presses Shift, the program can check: are nicks currently visible?
Then the program can perform different actions depending on whether nicks are visible.

Your own nick and other players' nicks can obscuring arrows.
If you cannot move - difficult arrow level - from your current spot, the Shift solution can help.

I don't like this part.

Re: nicks visible? Shift hides nicks

I think that shift should have the constant function to show usernames - seems pointlessly annoying.

Keys should stay constant in what they do if they are going to be used often.

Re: nicks visible? Shift hides nicks

or just make shift switch-able so when nicknames are invisible you press once shift and now its always visible, then you press again shift and now its default, when you dont move it shows and when you move it doesnt show nicknames, and then you press shift and nicknames are invisible and so on

or if you dont understand me
>press shift>nicknames are on default?>make nicknames invisible
>press shift>nicknames are invisible?>make nicknames always visible
>press shift>nicknames are always visible?>make nicknames reappear like on default

Can you give an example of this? I still don't understand a scenario where this would be helpful.

Re: nicks visible? Shift hides nicks

Can you give an example of this? I still don't understand a scenario where this would be helpful.

This (mirror) is not the best example, but should give you some idea.
Going from the top right to the top left there, and I want to know what arrows are under me, in particular under the block next to me.
Here it's still easy to see, especially since I can move a bit to make the arrows better visible.
But there are situations where other players are in the way and where I can not even make slight movements.
Anyway, I kind of gave up on this suggestion. I think I've written all I can about it, it's not that big a deal.

You can either jump (unless there's an arrow to push you away), or shift+u

Yes, jump is not an option.
That's pretty much part of the point I'm making.

or shift+u

Just Shift to hide nicks, if Shift can also show nicks, is a lot more consistent and easier to remember.
But this really is my last post about this topic.

Re: nicks visible? Shift hides nicks

So this is basically something like minecraft characters whereas you shift, people's username's opacity will decrease.
Also, can you please use "username" instead of "nicks" bc at first i didnt know what u were talking about.

Re: nicks visible? Shift hides nicks

Here (mirror) is another example.
I don't know if I can also go left and/or right, and the only way to remove the sign text is by jumping, but when I jump I may pass alternative exits.
Therefore Shift should also remove sign text.

Re: nicks visible? Shift hides nicks

Please do not change this shortcut. I use Shift to make the usernames visible. Here's my suggestion: Customizable shortcuts

I mentioned to make it a customizable setting. I don't want Shift to hide my nicks when they are currently visible.
