1: I just have a keybinding for quicksave and quickload. I have learned to press save whenever I completed something I don't want to haveto redo.
2: Not sure what your issue is, I have no troubles viewing things if I just rotate the camera and/or zoom in/out a bit.
3: as stated there is a button for this already.
4: have you tried using the arrow keys to adjust the slider? Usually things bought from a vendor do not come in large enough stacks to make the slider a problem.
5: will come further down the road. The original game had it, its just not implemented yet.
For now have a sorting system to make it easier for you. ^^
