I am missing buttons that can be put in a button bar to the left,right, top and/or bottom. It is faster/easier to press a button than to type in an alias. Unless they are two letters maybe.

A button can also be linked directly to an alias. It is not so different from an alias. Just one that you can click on instead of typing it.

You can also add the display as button and button title to aliasses. (And left width top and height and buttonbar 1-4)

Maybe also text/combobox input fields that are directly written to a variable if you edit them to the side of the screen. It would be nice if you can quickly replace the text spring into fountain in an inputbox on the right/left side of the screen to change the source to drink from quickly.
The quicker the better. It would be faster than typing spring="Fountain" in the command bar. and if you need to type it quickly you may make mistakes too.

my mud client cmud has button bars, bugged though, but better than not having it. It can certainly be implemented better than in cmud. It also doesnt have textbox input for variables.
