Summary0004084: Improvement of keyboard spellcasting
DescriptionMy suggestion is to use the interface style from "City of heroes" (probably used elsewhere too), where the first row of spells is castable by hitting the corrosponding # (as it is now).
Then a second row are castable by holding down ALT+#, and a third row by CTRL+#.

This would mean being able to "pin" up to 3 tiers of spelltray to the UI at once.

I'm sorry, but due to the stuck-keys bug that we've never been able to diagnose (the input simply tells us that certain keys are still being held down if you alt-tab'd while holding them) we can't use modifier keys in this game.

But I'll keep it under considering in case we find a solution to that bug; but it's been about a year since we first found it.

Fair enough, but would it be possible to (as a temprary fix) be able to pin a second or third tray tier? That way those extra spells are just a single mouse-click away, rather than being a keypress then a mouseclick?

Well, you can always make it so that it's some other key plus numbers to do it. Modifier keys are largely fine, I think it's just alt and shift that are dangerous.
