Right now it is possible (and sometimes the player needs) to open an unmentionable number of windows, which end up cluttering the game view. Unfortunately it seems that there is no easy or quick way to "clean up"the interface by closing all those open windows.

It would be nice if it was possible to close all the windows at once or even close only a certain type of windows (i.e., bus window, train station window, town window, etc..). If that could be achieved by a simple shortcut (for example, pressing the C key would close all windows, ctrl+click on the close window button would close all windows of the same type) then it would be great.

Reported version: 0.5.0
Operating system: All

Wow that was refreshing. Just what the doctor ordered!

Nonetheless, is it possible to reassign that shortcut? The del key is a bit out of hand from the left hand, which controls the keyboard while the right handles the mouse. It would be great if it was possible to achieve that without having to let go of the mouse or crossing the left arm all over the keyboard.

Yes, it is a bit nitpicking but it would make things less complicated.

Maybe one day all shortcuts will be customisable, but for now it's impossible.

On both Windows and Linux there exist good tools to temporary remap keys. In Linux you would startout registering keycodes with xev and then setup remaps with xmodmap. But all software I know for this purpose can't beat hardware based re-map functioality which can be found in high-end keyboards(and some cheep* ones too), where it takes seconds to stick usful stuff to digits 3-5, and then some seconds to revert it back again.

* less than 100 USD

A third aproach can be to edit the OpenTTD code yourself and change the keybindings. The key-detecting is quite straightforward in OpenTTD. (I've done this several times when a OpenTTD keybinding conflicts with my WindowManager's bindings.)
