Freeing 'v' sounds good to me. It's just streamlining. Does the
inventory screen have room for a helpful "press a letter to examine
the item" message?

v is handier in my opinion, easier to reach if you play with rogue
keys. And I do. :)

Yup, ! is used quite often. It's not too clumsy, but 't' might be
quicker as one gets used to it.

Good in my opinion, of course trashes the conventions. But that's how
it should be.

Ok. I use ctrl-dir anyway.. or just walk towards the door. Some games
give you a "you bump into the door" message. Now that's unfriendly.

>  o:      autoexplore

This is a change I'm not 100% sure about - autoexploring is kind of a
major move, and one might strike 'o' accidentally, whereas (key)+o is
less likely. I should probably test this before commenting, and I take
people have already, and have found it ok.

Ok. The more streamlined dissection in general is great. And the
modified praying (i.e. no need to dedicate kills), even if I recall I
thought it might not be as atmospheric or something.. I guess it's
"chopping up" now, not dissecting.
