v DFHack is what you're looking for. it's available as its own release on steam and has a bunch of other features and fixes

is there any mod that will add a search bar to the justice menu? i cannot find any

I love this mod. The only issue I have is that the squad button is still an "X". It may be a conflict but I cant find it. This is my mod collect if it helps.

@Urist Yes, I need the change that file. Sorry for the confusion!

Is it possible to get the UI improvements without this mod remapping any keys? I like my keybinds and would love to see them overlayed on top of the buttons, but until that is possible, would love to just have the tweaks without any of the key stuff.

EDIT: I think it was a misunderstanding, as the steam_description.txt file seems to have the description from your Ergonomic Hotkeys mod, which threw me off.

Would be useful to write the UI improvements here too

Awesome! Thank you so much!
