With the new android port and the upcoming webtiles mouse support, I think it's a good time to improve some of the default mouse controls. There's 2 buttons (left and right) and 2 modifiers (shift and ctrl). In android, the right click is done by tap and hold, and the modifiers are mapped to the volume controls. Modified right clicks are a bit cumbersome so they should be assigned low priority commands. Or none at all.
Currently, right clicking on anything bring the description. Right clicking on the player bring the overview screen (%). It's consistent, but I think it's wasting a very accessible control to a not so important command.
There are 2 areas that are a bit under exploited IMO. Self clicking and stats area. Left clicking the stats area start a long rest and that's all. For self-clicking, the current bindings are:
I think 2 commands are very important and should be the most accessible: wait a turn and start autoexplore. Thus, I suggest the following bindings:
self-click
stats area
