    Please ditch the "M" gesture for an "N"

    "M" is exceedingly hard to get right (3 inflections). And it has a longer "casting time" for that reason too.

    Would it be possible to replace this with an "N", which is essentially a turned-sideways "Z" (two inflections)? This should be MUCH easier to recognize (and in line with what you do for the player abilities, V > ^)

    Why is it more critical now? Because being able to assign the gestures to the minions also entails that we are FORCED to use all 3 gestures... where before I just shared the circle between my Eileen and my Maggie.

    Thanks for reading.

    Not sure why we don't have a < symbol either. Just give us a bunch of symbols and let us choose which ones we want to go in which slots. W N < 8 could all be added, probably a few others, but not sure the limitations on the software (Can it easily recognize the difference between a 'C' and a '<' ?)

      backward Z, <, 8, half 8, sideway 8, 3, half 3, sideway 3, S, backward S, or triangles or squares.

          I'd like to see support for the ability to assign any supported gesture to any companion slot, even duplicates. As for the gestures themselves, I agree that "<" and "N" would be good additions.

            Yes, this won't be a mad change, however there are better things to work on before small changes.

                  True, but I use the "unused" V direction to draw my circles so that one thing doesn't get mistaken for the other...

                  Besides, I was kinda hoping the unused V would eventually get assigned to a 4th skill slot.

                  As another idea, I would emphasize that the issue with the "M" is really the number of inflections -> but on the other hand, a 3 (and its upside-down variants, rounded E, W, and M) should be *very* easy to get right...
