Yep, i forgot about the view menue which wasn't clever, but I would prefer
that setup sinse the keys would be more accessible in battle and closer to
the sspacebar if I've got my hand on the arrows, ----- though it's up to you
of course.
Beware the grue!

Hi Dark,
Lol! I do get your meaning. I guess the next logical choice would be x
as that key tends to be used in games for a variety of misc functions.
the v key of course is now for the view menu, and d could be switched
with x for describe object rather than examine object. That would free
up c for crouch which would be the logical choice since Tomb Raider
Under World, Jedi Knight, and various mainstream games I played use c
for crouch/crawl.
Cheers!

Well Tom, if duck were c, going on ease of use lines, I'd assign speak

While this doesn't particularly have any logic in terms of acronyms for
keys, it might be easier on the hands, ---- though you could call it the
"dam I'm lost" or the ""Vere am I" functions ;D.
Games like sound rts, rail racer and innumerable roguelikes like Angband
have gone on this basis, and while I agree it does mean consulting key
listings a litle more while at the start it can help with speed.
in fact, sinse if I'm playing a game I don't particularly have my fingers
on
the home keys for touch typing anyway, where letter keys are used outside
their function i actually just start of thinking of them as "general
prupose" keys, rather the way i would think of buttons on a control stick
being shoot, jump, change weapon etc.
This is though just personal preference of course, and there are other
methods.
Certainly, where actual in put with a keyboard is necessary, as in an
interactive fiction or mud game, I do actually use the keys as for
typing.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
