Description

Motivation

When in the lobby browser I often only want to see "ready to start" games. If I cant find the map I want to play, I want to see the empty servers. However, there are so many servers that it is impractical to permanently have "Empty" ticked in the browser filter. Then I cant see TD and D2K "ready" games.

Proposed solution

Hotkey toggle to to modify the "Empty" servers filter setting ( on-> off , off -> on).

Alternatives

  • modifier key (shows "empty" while pressed)

Research direction

Start in the lobby browser's filter UI and existing hotkey handling; the issue does not name specific files or tests. The change is complete when a hotkey toggles the Empty servers filter on and off, with the alternative modifier-key behavior considered if needed.
