I think, that's just convenient for her.

Ah, come on! Then it's 'a couple of people', I shouldn't have made that small side-comment. You keep ignoring the actual argument:

But you don't go through the letters in alphabetical order. Either you look which are worth anything and type the letter assigned to it, or if you pick up several items in a row you repeatedly type the same letter, as the items drop down replacing the ones picked up.

What's wrong about that?

People keep saying that. It certainly hasn't been here. Where are you getting that from?

Well, I didn't do a statistical analysis - that's why I wrote 'it seems to be' instead of 'it is'. But I still got it from here as a long-time-lurker where I read it again and again. And the people that keep saying that, say it most of the time (if not always) after requesting this feature.

But the much more interesting point to me was the necessity of the alphabetical order. I really think the way it works you won't miss these 2 letters. So what about that?

The time used to code this would be well worth it, I think, as it seems to be the most requested feature for years now.

Ah, I forgot the whole issue of "g"/"i" also referring to a specific item to be picked up, and therefore conflicting with the toggle, which is a good reason not to implement the toggle feature. I'll have to find another pretext for a Spiderweb lawsuit that will attract international media coverage.

It is not a good reason. As I said before, you could simply exclude 'g' and 'i' from the up-picking-feature, leaving another 24 letters, which should really be more than enough.

I use and like the feature to pick up by typing, but I really can't see why leaving these 2 letters out should interfere with it.

Ah, ok, thanks!

I dealt with the guy first. He was in trouble, so it seemed obvious to do so, instead of ignoring him and go exploring. But thats not game logic, I know.

And as long as you can still use the keyboard to pick up items - by selecting a letter which could be 'i' or 'g' - it's still not going to happen.

So, what about the really obvious solution to exclude 'i' and 'g' from the letters used for picking up items?

I'm at level 20 and I guess about halfway through the game, but didn't find a way to learn the Dispel Barrier spell yet. I was already at Pyrns tower, but couldn't read the book with 10 Arcane Lore. I have now a huge backtracking list and really don't want to get it any longer.

So where do I have to go and what do I have to do?
