Hey there!
Just recently I played the Hard West 2 Playtest Demo and mentioned their weird choice of having F8 as Quicksave button, and I switched it to F5, which I consider as standard.
A viewer of my LP then mentioned that he considers F6 as the standard.
I looked into it a bit and checked which games have been using what and what were the first games which were using a quicksave button. Obviously history does not mean, that it's the current standard.
So I want to use this poll for two things:
1. I want to ask you what you consider as the Standard Quicksave Button right now? And with that I don't mean what you usually use (like if you always set the quicksave button to middle mousebutton or whatnot) but what you think is usually set as quicksave in standard keymaps.
2. I want to see if you can think of any "old games" using quicksave to see who might have established the one or other standard.
