Summary0007879: Can't use * (asterisk) to page selection down in contexts where view/cursor can be moved
DescriptionI am playing on a MacBook Pro, which has no numeric keypad, so I type * as shift+8.
If I am inspecting the contents of a [k] tile, [v] creature, or [t] building, and I try to use * to scroll down a page, the cursor moves north 10 tiles so that the tile/creature/building is no longer selected.
Fix: Delete the "By position: Shift+8" binding from "Move view/cursor up, fast" in the General keybindings, which seems to serve no good purpose anyway -- there's a separate "By position: Shift+Numpad 8" binding for those who navigate using a numeric keypad.
TagsNo tags attached.

 The bug is that the default keybindings aren't laptop-friendly?

 The bug is that one keystroke is bound to two different functions that don't play well together -- one function that is probably primarily used on laptops (top-row Shift+8 = *), and one function that is probably used by no one (top-row, rather than numpad, number keys for navigation).

 This is the same idea as 0005270, and is probably fixable by giving SECONDSCROLL_PAGEDOWN priority over CURSOR_UP_FAST in this case.
