FR: Add More Help Text to Faction Screen Controls

Issue #1997 new
exsanguination microtubules created an issue

The faction screen supports a number of features but they are really hard to discover.

For example, you can sort by reputation if you press RIGHT to go into the numeric column, and then ENTER/SPACE to sort.

You can also scroll down in the rightmost column (for factions with a long description, like Robots) if you press RIGHT twice to get into that column and then UP/DOWN to scroll.

People who’ve played this game for years didn’t know about this.

Suggested fix:

  • Add helptext such as the following to the bottom row:

    • 4/6 - Change column
    • Space - Sort column
  • Make +/- scroll the rightmost column similar to other screens, like the look screen. Maybe also show a “<More… +/- to scroll>” at the bottom row when there’s more info.
