Yes, there are some definite losses in the move to a mouse based interface. I'm glad I had enough of a break from my last ASCII DF play, so my muscle memory isn't driving me insane. Some of the hotkeys are a little rough (requiring a big stretch across the keyboard or two hands on the kb but I'm using a mouse now..) and I hope they get another pass.

YUP. Critical functions (doors?!) should all be on the left side of the keyboard if you're going to make me use the mouse.

Wonder if the publishers use DVORAK or something.

Whoever settled on B-P-R for doors is some form of sadist.
The real move is to get in the habit of forbidding your fancy stuff by default, and then using "closest material" and "keep building after placement" for all furniture.
