Bind Z to "use item on opposite hand"

[mbc]

Diagonal movement is actually faster than normal directions, because each movement 'tick' is used to traverse two tiles (one down, one left) instead of just one tile. It may not be apparent unless there's some lag, but it is in fact twice as fast as standard movement. There are not many areas on the station where you can use this speed boost to your advantage, but it makes a big difference in open areas like space when you're podfighting and such.

Opening up all the diagonal options would make for very strange movement controls, because it would always be beneficial to walk diagonally instead of NorthWestEastSouth.

Regardless of all of that, the hotkey to use the item in your opposite hand could be cool. Maybe a button that isn't Z?
