[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#12121) too hard to meet with players

["Jason Short" <jdorje@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Meeting with another player is the most needed action in the players
dialog.  But it's very hard to do.  You have to select the nation then
choose meet from the menu.

1.  Double-clicking should meet with the player (not bring up the intel
dlg like it does now).

2.  The intel dialog should have a meet button (this is a potential
alternative to #1).

3.  Some way should be found to have a keyboard command for Meet.  I
understand with the tabbed dialog this is problematic.  I'd suggest a
"meet with player" entry in the TOP-LEVEL menus, with a reasonable
shortcut.  If the player chooses this it will bring up the players
dialog.  If the players dialog is already on top it will open the
meeting dialog.  The same shortcut can be given to the top-level entry
as is given to the diplomacy-dialog entry, just to avoid confusion.

This should be fixed for 2.0.
