We should be able to knock on doors, just like we can knock on windows.
Clicking on the door is already taken for opening / maint - so I would suggest Shift-Click to knock . For borgs shift-click would still be bolt down since robots have no
arms hands to knock with
This way the roboticist will finally answer their door!

I'd like this, especially for bathroom stalls on LLJK1. Also, borgs have arms. Just not hands.

some kind of soft tone doorbell button might be better for some departments

Geneticists? Answer to a
knock?
Only if said doorbell cut off power to their consoles.
Anyways, this is what I use the department messaging system for. Being able to message entire departments is very underutilized. I could see how this could be useful, but I'd probably run it into the ground by leaving people flaming bags of compost.

good idea sov
also different intents should yield in a different knock. help is you average rapping of your knuckles against the door to knock but harm should be angrily banging the door
disarm/grab should be shave and a haircut

If you are holding a person in an aggressive grab, then click a door, slam them against it repeatedly, playing the slam noise as if you knocked with harm intent.
For when you don't wanna get your hands dirty on that filthy door

Use an empty drinking glass on the door
