"r" to randomizer player's hand as well#864

When you have to let a player choose a random card from your hand, in real life you would normally shuffle the hand before offering it face down to the opponent to pick a card.
It would be a nice to be able to “r” your own hand in TTS too for the very same reason.

You can use r on your hand, just select all your cards in the hand zone and press r. But I also think it would be a good feature to have a special key or key combination to shuffle the hand. It slows the game down when we have to select all cards and press r.

Didn’t know that. But yeah nevertheless dragging the mouse to select all the cards is not very handy.
A good solution may be to hit “r” while hovering over ANY card in hour hand to randomize it all.

I can hardly see any case in which you may want to randomize only a part of them while leaving some others in their place so there’s no need to select ‘em all after all in my opinion.

there are games where you keep two different kinds of cards in your hands. since TTS only has one on-screen hand, in those cases people tend to keep the types of cards segmented in the same hand zone. an indiscriminate whole-hand randomization would be frustrating in those use-cases. Better to let people decide what in their hand gets randomized by selecting and then randomizing.

In tthosw cases I just lay some cards on the table and allow my opponent to pick from my hand.

How would you do that otherwise, with all the cards in your hand?

has nothing to do with another player picking from your hand (though, that’s probably the largest use-case).

This is more about intuited and expected behaviour: I would rather have it so that I can choose which cards shuffled while they’re in my hand rather than having the game shuffle everything in my hand. I’m okay with the idea of a shift+r keystroke to shuffle everything regardles of what’s selected, but it should not be default behaviour as that’s the system over-reaching: “I said to shuffle these 7 cards, not everything in my hand” kinda thing.

This feature should be an option/settings because it is enforcing a “custom” behaviour which can be implemented with some script; but more challenging to remove/disable through scripting.

Context:
Before update v13.2, using R key when hovering over a single card (randomize a single card, i.e. doing nothing) can be utilised as a hook to activate a custom function (e.g. selecting/activating that card). The idea is that this particular key doesn’t have to be set up manually by each player unlike the regular addHotkey (piggybacking on an unused interaction).

Possible solution:
Add an item in Configuration>Interface>Misc. Settings that could enable this feature if desired. Ideally, this should be off by default.

Great suggestion for a solution from Larrie Corvell, adding an item in Configuration.
I tend to abuse the « r » in my mod like in this one: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2429973296
