The idea is to be able to create Buttons and attach commands / Link on them as you do on website Builder .

Commands can be taken from keyboard shortcuts and the UI ,and the buttons can be placed on modules slots UI or at the left area slots .

Why : ease of access and one step further to touchscreen functionality.

Seems like a ton of work for a really questionable benefit. If it's one button per command then it's not worth much to the vast majority of players, if it's multiple commands then it's botting. Why?

There are various buttons which would be very useful and would make the game more easy in some ways.

I would like to see a button in space dock which would unload your ships cargo automatically without having you to drag and drop.

To change you skin of your ship you could have another button, rather than going into the menu and then choose which skin it would flip through you selections without you having to choose which skin you want.

chat button which lets you add favorites or recent chats...

etc etc

I wouldn't be against this, my windows GUI programming is about a decade behind, but it wouldn't really be any different than pressing a hotkey, just making it touchable.

Better make sure you have a tough touch screen though, guaranteed I'd be putting my finger through the jump button in the first week.
