Unread post Abort display on CIM
I've noticed that for at least port report in CIM, you can't break out of a list with the SPACE. Has this always been the case? Is it something that recently broke? Should you be able to break out of a CIM function with SPACE?

I've never noticed whether or not you could break out of port report before. I have noticed that in a 30k sector universe with 80% ports it's very time consuming to run a port report. I hesitate to tell you to speed it up in fear of making CIM Hunter scripts more powerfull, but maybe there's a way to speed it up according to the number of ports in a game.

I mistakenly set the port report pace to half what it has traditionally. I just fixed it so it's running at the normal pace. So it's twice as fast as you've been seeing on the beta. I hope that's fast enough because I hate to mess with the pacing on that.

The twgs beta build I am running will not break out of cim with space bar, you need to wait for the info to output.
Would be good to be able to abort the display.

Yeah, I agree. When testing, I've been dropping carrier to abort a long list. I'll figure out why it's not breaking on SPACE. The code expects to, but the IO isn't recognizing the SPACE.
