Hey, It's no big deal to be honest. I don't wantitems to be picked up automatically so badly thta I wouldn't consider buying the game if enter was used. Besides, this game is closer to being done than ever before, so just finish the game. I might branc this out into a more general discussion about realism vs. fun (which was the original intention to be honest - you're obviously trying to make a slower game than I invisioned).
