Summary0007129: Keyboard-only mode should still place stuff with the mouse
DescriptionCurrently in keyboard only mode, placing platforms and crates is a bit of a crapshoot. Here's what I propose:

- If you haven't moved the mouse in the past X minutes (say 1), the platform/crate should be placed as it is now.
- If you recently moved the mouse, the platform/crate should be placed where you moved the mouse to.

This gives you the flexibility of placing things fast if you're in a rush (middle of combat) or placing things with the mouse if you need to be precise (in water or when in a pit etc.) It does require special logic for crates and platforms though.

Thinking about it some more, there could be some weird edge cases here. So how about pressing the crate button will create a crate where it is now, while pressing and holding would place it where the mouse is like in mouse mode?

For 0.934:

* Fixed a longstanding bug where tab-targeting was impacting the deploy-item ability (which is used for placing platforms, crates, etc) despite it specifically having the flag that makes it ignore tab-targeting.

* Fixed a bug where the new "Use Ability: Place Platform", etc bindings from last version were not obeying the aim-keyboard-abilities-at-mouse-cursor behavior of the keyboard+mouse mode.


I don't know if that addresses the issue so I'm not marking it resolved, but fyi.
