The little mini panel on the left only allows you to use the shift key with a number key to select whatever item is in it's slot. I would really like to be able to map those keys. I prefer using function keys. That way I only have to press one key to select an item for use instead of having to press two keys. I think that all of the keys used in the game should in fact be mappable. I hope that this is an easy thing to do and not impossible.
