Using arrow keys in conjunction with a right-handed mouse is not ergonomic, so I suggest we add a WASD mode for greater comfort and efficiency (easier to press the alt and ctrl keys for examining and dragging).
I have played on servers where the player can press the Tab key to enter a hotkey mode, where WASD and other keys are changed to hotkeys (for actions such as moving) and the T key is used as a hotkey for "say", which allows the user to speak with the full range of letter keys.
I am not saying that goonstation should conform to the standards of other servers, but it is worth noting how others have gone about implementing an ergonomic mode that allows for WASD movement.
