Keyboard shortcut for spells

Someone else suggested it in another forum - but having keyboard shortcut keys for the six spell icons (and associated tabs, obviously) for simultaneous hacking and spell-casting action...I liked the sound of it and wasn't sure if you anyone had seen it...
Or a further interesting option....the posibility of disabling the mouse for spell catsing...so you can only move or cast sells, not both at the same time....
I always thought that a good idea..

To allow one to use the key board to do spells quickly ..
f1-f4 would be to go to the characters 1-4 backpack and f5-f8 could be used to set the current caster.
Now looking at the keyboard I think that insert to page down is 6 buttons that are conveinient enough to be usefull as spell symbols for quick casting.
1.2.3
4.5.6
..F
L.B.R
that's the layout .. pressing 'enter/return' would cast the current selected spell... yeah.. I just tested the movements and it feels natural .. kinda cool even..
This would be a very cool addition to the interface I think.. are you willing to try that out George?

The keyboard shortcut is cool - could you map the spellcasters to F9 - F12 instead/aswell for the next release, just so everything is a finger stretch away? : )
