Make it need several seconds of holding F5 to make a quicksave.

[Tw1]

There have been many suggestions for improvements to quicksave, due to the mistakes that are possible with it.

There have been several times where I've tapped F5 instead of F9, resulting in problems.

It occurred to me, that F9 has a safety feature- it takes a few seconds of holding to activate, enabling you to realise what you're doing and stop if you change your mind.

F5 activates with a mere tap, and locks you in to overwriting the last quicksave.

If you had to hold F5 for a second or two to use quicksave, a lot of slip ups could be avoided. It doesn't sound hard to implement, I think it would be a useful change.

I wouldn't mind this, myself. A potential workaround you can use for now, though, is to use ALT-F5 to periodically create a named backup of your current game (which can be restored with ALT-F9). Like I'm about to start a mission to Jool in my game, so I have a 'master backup' right at the beginning of the mission, and I can continue to use normal quicksaves along the way.
