Basically, I was talking about something like this:

It would have solved the scrolling back to #1 for a normal attack every few seconds issue as well as you could have just pressed #1 on it.

And to answer to Eruantien:
If that's true I hope SE changes their mindset ASAP. They stressed pretty often that they're also aiming for casuals. And as much as I'm trying to I can't imagine a casual buying an USB keyboard. Let alone sitting with one on his laps on a couch.

Of course you'd have to buy a chatpad too... but it's way more comfortable that way.
And isn't this new XIV community screaming for that all the time?
