First off, I just want to give kudos to Andrew for his work maintaining Angband. The game has improved a lot over the last few years.
Here are my user-interface requests:
(1) The "newbie command menu" that shows up when you press return always displays the commands with the standard keyset. I think Angband should be aware what keyset is active, and show the menus with the roguelike keyset when appropriate.
I don't actually use these menus now. However I recently switched to the roguelike keyset to use on a laptop. It would have been really useful to be able to press return to find out how to do things while I was learning, rather than have to go search through the help files. (Plus, it was a little confusing pressing return and getting presented with suggestions for the wrong keys!)
(2) It would be nice if the macro preferences were a little more user-friendly. I don't have strong feelings for how it should be; my only suggestion is that it would be great if the user was able to see what the current macros (and trigger keys) were. Sometimes I'll make a mistake creating a macro, and such a list would be very useful to tell if I just assigned something to a key I didn't intend.
