"Get it together, marine! You are a brute! You are a berserker! Maybe you're not a badass yes, but you will be soon. Those bastards hit hard, but so do you and your chainsaw is hungry, it didn't leave anybody alive in the first five floors and something tells me that this baby could chew its way through hell itself! Well... yeah, you left a few of those stupid monsters alive when you found your baby, but that's just because you hate lava. Hate it! HATE! I'm not afraid of no monsters, but if they hide behind lava, I'm not going after them barefoot.

OK, focus. I'm bleeding all over, almost dead. Down to my last medpack, but I should save it for later. No monsters around and there is a switch nearby. It could be a medical station. Hell, I'd give anything for it to be a medical station! As long as it doesn't flood me with fucking lava, I'll be alright. Here goes!

More demons? More playmates all around me?! How is that possible? Eat chainsaw you bastards! Yeah! Just stand there and take it! YEAH! I'm a motherfucking killing machine! I need to taste your BLOOD! ... Wait, is that you, voice of reason? I thought I'd long since drowned you in boiling innards and blood. What, the medkit? Should I take it, I feel quite invulnerable without it, but... I guess you kept me alive through five floors. It's just a little too crowded with all these monsters still standing stupid around us. I guess you're right. I'll just lean here against this switch to easier open the medkit... Son of a bitch! Argh! I'm on fire! ARRGHHH!!! I'M ON PLASMA!!! ARRRGHHHH!!!"



So... yeah... I tried to use a medpack using "u" while standing on a "summon monsters" lever. I should be pissed, but it was hilarious.

That's why I almost ever use the "apply" function to get at stuff from my inventory, preferring to go through the slightly longer route of first calling up my inventory and then selecting the object by letter.

But yes, it gets pretty hilarious when it happens the way you experienced. =P

[Klear]

This is the first time this got me killed, so yeah... I guess I'll try to learn to use only inventory screen as well.

[Deathwind]

It happens to me all the time as the keys are right next to each other. It's an annoyance only second to my defective shift key not working when I try to use stairs forcing a full second wait...

[ZicherCZ]

I recall that once I wanted to "u"se a mod while standing on a lever. Too bad - it was the one that floored the room with acid.
I made it out of the room - only to be shot back into the acid by a stray former sergeant. YASYHD
(SYH = Stupid Yet Hilarious)

I never use the U key for med-packs, but I have, on a few occasions, accidentally pushed the I and O keys at the same time (since they're right next to each other) and used whatever item was in inventory slot O.  It's really annoying to waste large med-packs that way.  :P

That's why I changed my inventory management option in the config.lua to "CHOICE". Bad for speedrunning, but it pretty much eliminates fatfingering.

I usually just phase myself that way.

You may then want to change the parameter InvMenuStyle to CHOICE. This disallows the use of letter keys for items in any menu ("i"nventory, "u"se or "d"rop spring to mind) and force you to use arrow keys and enter.
I had a similar problem with "f"ire and "d"rop keys being too close. Instead of "ff" I pressed "dd" and dropped whatever was in "d" slot. The change helped a lot.

[Tormuse]

Hmm...  That's a good idea!  I didn't realize I had that option.  Thanks!  :)
