Use numeric pad for targeting body parts.

While it's easy to change intents with a 1 to 4, it's much harder to switch between targeted body parts, requiring a manual click. Here's an idea for a simple implementation of body part targeting shortcuts.

Num8 - head
Num5 - chest
Num4 - right arm
Num6 - left arm
Num1 - right leg
Num3 - left leg
Num2 - groin
Num7 - eyes
Num9 - mouth

As usual, with holding Ctrl if Hotkey Mode is disabled.

Oh.

Yeah, those sound about right too. Except I would use Num9 for mouth.

ah, yeah, finger hit the wrong number, 9 would be ideal.

Many keyboards (especially laptop keyboards) now lack a numpad entirely. It would be wrong to put them at an in game disadvantage.

i think (not certain) that byond is kind of fucky with the numpad. remember that old bug where if you were in a mech and hit 5 on the numpad you would go up a z-level?

If you use a laptop keyboard for an extended length of time you will eventually look like Quasimodo.
Get a keyboard
