You can now drop items into containers without having to open them, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE.

The hotkeys are not supposed to use the selected item.

Thank you for using your precious time to answer, but I think you people have gravely misunderstood what we want and expect from a shortcut.

Currently it might lead to dangerous actions, because you have put the *default* bindings on "dangerous" chatprone keys, that can cause problems if you forgot to be sure that the window has focus.
This will be migitaged by 2 things. People learn to care about focus. And they use differing bindings.
If they were on F-keys or e.g. the numpad or used modifiers, there would be near no risk.
Example, i rarely ever use f9-f12 for anything, they would be obvious candidates.

I admit to being a experienced user who gets the concept of focus, but in the current state, going by the designgoals stated by CCP Optimal, it seems that is actually bordering on a unintended feature that we can click a item on the overview and then use the hotkey, since the intended functionality appears to be for people without or unable to operate a mouse.

But let me put something else to you. I could, should I so desire, because I know a bit more than average, in a matter of minutes locate, download and install general purpose software that will allow me to set up any hotkey I want, and it will (generalizing a bit) then move the mouse to a predesignated spot on my screen, regardless of program (but lets say the warp button in fullscreen mode), and click, when I press the assigned keybind.

Why should I or anyone else not do that, when we cant have something we should have had years ago? The current hotkey limitations/quirks/whathaveyou are overly restrictive, end of story.

Formally I am not allowed to, because of the EULA and that the same software can be used for much more sophisticated things than only translating a keypress to a mouseclick on a given pixel.
But it is merely this simple thing we ask of hotkeys. Being able to trigger button presses with the same autority as having used the mouse to do the same thing.
So many games have it, and had it before Eve got online. So many non-game programs have it.
Stop being stubborn naysayers about it.
