I agree with how everyone says the implementation should be (or I should say, it should also be an option, the hotkey idea isn't inherently bad and some people might prefer it). However, you guys have probably been around long enough to know the reason they haven't implemented that design is very likely to be an engine or server issue. Hopefully they can put this in with 2.0.

I seriously wonder how many at the dev team though the engine was fine and dandy the way it was, though. Seems to be a nightmare to work with, and apparently just makes it harder on both devs and players to actually get anything done.
