Bad habits

I've had too many games where I died because I was saving them for when I "really need them." Also, on a couple of occasions, trying to get to cover before healing, so I'm not exposed for that one second of using the med-pack. (Especially stupid if I happen to be playing as a Technician, so there's no reason to seek cover)
Another that's killed me a few times is forgetting to load the next shell into the Combat Shotgun while corner-shooting. Then, when I rapidly tap the arrow keys to aim at the right square, I run right at the enemy instead! I don't do that any more, though, thanks to a line I discovered in the Config.lua file that makes it prompt you to press enter if you ever try to fire when you can't. That feature has saved my bacon a few times.
Another irritating thing that's happened a number of times is pushing the I key to bring up the inventory while simultaneously, accidentally pushing the adjacent keys, U or O. I've wasted too many large med-packs that way. The previous version had a line in the config.lua file to prevent that, but it seems to be missing from 0.9.9.6. :( I just have to be more careful, I guess.

Hoarding medpacks happens regularly to me, luckily it is much better now than before.
As for Inventory, you can change the way the inventory looks like and remove quick-access buttons.
And personally I had to remove the special keys 'M' and 'N' from bindings, as those were eating my medpacks as well.

I usually use a phase device because of this. I guess my hand has some weird shape =)
On the other hand, I'm to say that I usually die after spending all my medkits these days, except in the alarmingly high number of occasions when I fire a missile launcher into a wall in front of me.

Bad habit: attempting to clear the four hell barons on UV CC+ before taking out the arena master (without the berserk packs). Corner shooting is possible, but difficult. About half the time an untenable situation occurs.

Isn't this the right strategy?I always do it that way because i definitely do not want barons interfering with my fight with AM.

I usually hit this with pistols when rapidly mashing F to shoot rounds into a cacodemon or anything else that's right behind a corner, and sometimes I got confused whether I'm in firing mode or not, so I too run into a cacodemon, sometimes even through lava. :C
