Description Bartłomiej Wacławik 2018-02-17 16:24:12 UTC

In current version, flags are placed in field where cursor was in moment of right button unclick. It's annoying in fast play, as flag is often placed in wrong square (users generally click to place the flag, not hold the button and unclick in order to place).
So better approach is to place flag on click (or maybe it would be good solution to let user choose it in options).

Add option to place flag on mouse press instead of release

On other popular minesweeper implementations like https://minesweeper.online/ and [Minesweeper X](https://minesweepergame.com/download/minesweeper-x.php), a flag is placed immediately when you press your mouse down.

This makes the gameplay smoother, and it allows the [1.5 click technique](https://www.minesweeper.info/wiki/1.5_Click) to work properly.
