What is the key combination/configuration tweak for more detailed queries?

[HappyDays]

I'm trying to work out some kind of odd desirability problem in my city related to commercial offices absolutely refusing to upgrade to their maximum stages, and I want to see what the more detailed query view tells me about the situation so I can (Possibly) work it out. Obviously, as I am here, I've been unable to find out how to activate it. Could someone be kind of enough to inform poor, woefully ignorant me?

you get more info with cntrl-alt-shift while using the "?" query

Wow, I can't believe I've been deprived of such a feature until now!    Thanks for sharing!

Note also that you need to have Buggi's Extra Cheats DLL for the Ctrl-Shift-Alt query to work.

SC4BOY,

Thank you!

RippleJet,

Thank you! On a side note...every time I see a great mod or tweak (Such as the .exe tweaks), I see your name mentioned. Are you omnipresent by any chance?

I believe so....I think of him more as a walking SC4 encyclopedia! I'm not sure if there is anything game related he doesn't know

Hello,

This is related to the detailed query.  I don't know if anyone else has discovered a "Query.txt".  Just as background, I'm using SimCity through wine on Linux.  When I used the detailed query and clicked a building, I was hoping for further information, but the query box in game was the same as always.  When I exited the game, and later, I went to my /home folder, I found a "Query.txt" file.  I opened it and it had information about the building I clicked on.

Hmm, I can't attach the file, so I'll paste it in this post:

sumwonyuno, that is a very good find!
I will need to take a closer look at this when I return from my vacation.
However, I can already say that there's a lot of valuable information contained in that query.txt file.

[sumwonyuno]

I'll make another thread to show my findings, so as to not hijack this thread.

Here is the thread:  Query.txt
