Has anyone managed to add the following client side? If so, then where can I get them? If not, then where in the code should I look to make the changes?
(I currently have not yet downloaded the source code since I’m on a 56k dialup modem, but I will download it for the sole purpose of attempting to add this if I need to, even though I’m not very good at C programming languages)

It is my belief that the current drag and drop [i]click fest[/i] doesn’t fit with the spirit of the game; furthermore, because of the lack of /command shortcuts, crafting is the slowest working skill that can be practiced in the game.
If it did fit, then you would be clicking on a monster each time you wanted to swing your weapon for an attack; however, that is not the current case.
Please make the practicing of crafting as easy as practicing weapons, magic, and armor usage.

On IRC a few people said that this would be dangerously close to becomming a bot; however, the user would still need to watch the items in the furnace/forge to keep the items from getting too hot and turning to dust.
(Additional code would be needed for a user to make a bot that keeps items from turning to dust, but if they know how to do that much then they most likely already posses the knowledge of how to transfer stuff back and forth from the crafting containers which the current bots probably already do.)
Ask yourself this: Would you rather have a shortcut made for ‘/dig iron’ or would you prefer to be forced to type out ‘/dig iron’ every time you wanted to mine for iron?
Thank you for your time.
