map p for Put on
Posted: Wednesday, 25th January 2017, 18:15
now that nobody pray anymore, won't it be a good idea to map "p" (that was used for prayers) to Put on jewellery ? (in addition to "P" of course)

1. Merge 'P' and 'E'quip.
2. Merge 'R' and 'T'ake off as well.
3. Remove 'q'uaff, 'r'ead, 'e'at, e'V'oke, 'M'emorise completely and merge all of them to 'u'se.
All of these mechanics are some dumb heritages from Nethack, so eradicate them completely plz

I disagree here.
You love reducing number of menu choices,
then do you agree splitting 'r' into 'r' (reading only emergencies, yellow-coloured scrolls) and 'Ctrl+r' (reading other scrolls),
because doing so reduces length of item list?
Probably no.

If you want to play a more annoying game, you can do any or all of the above things from 'i', then you won't have to remember whether the 'ring of fire resistance' is a 'ring' or a 'body armour' (which is the only reason to do as you suggest.)
-- Also "u" is a movement key, rebinding movement keys is a terrible plan.

I agree that you don't need to merge all of the commands but I think w and W should be merged. Distinguishing between armour and weapons to shorten the list is not really a problem since people usually only carry only 1 or 2 backup weapons, for brands or artefact effects, and the same for armour.
