Suggestions for Mouse and Keyboard

Transfer items dialog
Seems the only way to cancel a multiple items transfer is indeed either go out of screen and back or move the slider to 0 and then push the "Transfer" button. Neither is exactly swift to do. In case it's possible to catch keys while the transfer dialog is on screen, some suggestions:
a) Esc key first only canceling the dialog without going out of inv. screen.
b) Enter key to confirm the transfer action (an equivalent to the "Transfer" button).
c) Arrows (or camera left/right keybinds) to move the slider would be also neat if feasible.


Key bindings for allies
Sometimes you want to cycle through your team regardless if they are within next 5 positions in the queue. Depends on the playstyle, in my case being able to directly center an ally is very handy, esp. when their portrait isn't on top to click on. Actually being able to use shortcuts to center on not queue-visible units may add a functionality next to clicking.

Additionally, when you're selecting your party members perhaps won't be bad when it's not so wildly changeable as when it's sorted by current initiative? So you get reasonably used to who is under which key...

An example:
F1-F4: For selecting in battle allies (maybe by how they are sorted in the party roster?)
~ or Enter: To cycle through the queue of all units by initiative
(guessing it needs some time period to reset back to 1. Would like it but dunno if worth if it's too much hassle to implement)

Or alternatively, what about something like this for allies:
F1: Sam
F2: Ray
F3: Elena
F4: Emilia
F5: Arkadi
...
In other words a key directly bound to a specific ally and we can rebind them as wish. During a mission it would be applicable only for those who are present, but perhaps we can also use it at home and then it switches char/inv/perk/injury screens to that ally? (wildly guessing as the home interface remembers who was selected between its screens, maybe it's even possible to do in the background, eg. at the shop).

But anything else supplying similar functionalities to this or that extent will do.


PS: Looks like a bot attack or so.

Daithi:
Thanks for suggestions. Will do something with exiting the transfer dialogue, and have a look at adding keys to change quantity. As for selecting allies with F keys, will see how the idea stacks up against other potential uses for time, closer to the end of development.

ushas:
Yeah, I just post suggestions when have some time and comes on mind. Neither is selecting allies crucial for me. Having some highlight all functionality would be by far more important, for example, but I believe that was already mentioned.


Targeting
Suggestion: shortcuts for individual body parts.
For streamlining targeting in those moments when you already know what you're doing and don't need to consult targeting interface. 

For example:
Shift + w + right click -> head
Shift + a + right click -> hands
Shift + s + right click -> torso
Shift + d + right click -> legs

or

Arrow Up + right click -> head
Arrow Left + right click -> hands
Arrow Down + right click -> torso
Arrow Right + right click -> legs

Daithi:
This could be a good time saver for the player. Will keep it in mind!
