Has this ever happened to you?

You want to play a Balatro mod, but the description of a card is too long to fit on your screen!
Well that's exactly what happened to me, and that prompted me to make a mod to fix it.

Simply use the arrow keys to move any tooltip in any direction, and use the Home button to return it to its original position!

Now with custom keybinds support! Has to be one of these though https://love2d.org/wiki/KeyConstant

Also, it was exactly 100 lines of code

slate gust Sep 14, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

Maybe give the option to rebind it?

#

That way everyone that uses this mod can use the keys they want

agile garden Sep 14, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

in the meantime, change "home" on line 87 of scrollabledescriptions.lua to whatever key you want

slate gust Sep 17, 2025, 5:31 PM

#

slate gust By the way, pageup works fine

agile garden Sep 17, 2025, 5:31 PM

#

agile garden Sep 17, 2025, 6:22 PM
