Could we please please please have the [7] back on the number pad? The numberpad is perfect for naviigation.

[8] fwd
[4] left
[6] right
[2] back
[9] jump
[3] crouch
[7] start/stop flying

This arrangement was perfect. why did you change it? Now in order to stop flying (drop) I have to take my hand off the keyboard, find the mouse, find the "stop flying" button on the screen and click it. That's great if you have the luxury of hovering over your target, but if you're falling from a large height, and want to "catch yourself" before you hit the ground and "damage" your body... you are now losing precious seconds.

Keyboard input was made more standard. If the chatbar is up then keys that are normally used for editing text (such as 'Home' and 'End') will work for editing text. If the chat bar does not have focus (hit esc to close it) then 'Home' (7) and 'End' (9) will work as before to start / stop flying etc.
