With the amount of settings and options it is hard to know if I found everything, but here are a couple of basic things I would like to see.
1) A key command to scroll the focus through the currently open windows in the client. So I target and loot from the keyboard, then I have to move the mouse back and click on the loot window and then I can ESC to close it.
2) Key command that would apply when in the CHAT window that would switch between ALL, SYSTEM, AUCTION, et cetera.
3) The CHAT window itself keeps focus if the mouse cursor is over it. So if I tab to get into chat and I had my cursor hovering in the area of the non-selected chat window suddenly I cannot tab to go back to the character I actually have to click on the world and tab back.
4) Edit description from skills window word wrap. Please wrap this, the only way I can see this wrapped is if I close the edit window and look at the character description. I have also seen problems with it displaying its contents, resulting in half-edited descriptions that I could not see all of until I logged in again.
5) Clear button for edit description on skills window in case we just want to blank it and start over.
6) Key command for skills window that would allow switching from STATS, COMBAT SKILLS, et cetera.
Sorry if any of these are already in there, I think I am approaching a level of deftness with the client but can never be sure. Thank you for the consideration.

Resonable requests all around. Now only if we had an active dev who was willing to work on the gui >.>
As to 4) wordwrap, http://www.hydlaa.com/bugtracker/bug.php?op=show&bugid=371&pos=2 I poked into it briefly, and there's a reason we haven't fixed it in over a year :)

Client is all java, yes? (thanks for answering, the issue with the wrap makes sense to me...) Oh, and the inability to cut and paste from the client is on purpose, right? Or is that a planned revision that there is nobody to do?

Nope. IMO PlaneShift (Server and Client) is written in C++ and if i remember correctly the server console is done with PHP.
