The biggest problem with roguelikes IMHO is that you need still to inscribe your macros using the standard commands, e.g. @u1 unstead of @Z1 for staffs, which is very counterintuitive. Other misc commands are still available through '\', though this isn't at all obvious to a new player.

Hello guys, it's been a while!
