Just curious, but does anyone know roughly how many DMODs use key-nnn.c scripts as part of the game?

Besides the various cheat scripts.

It's fairly common, particularly for anything of greater substance. I will say I find it irritating to remember them if there's more than one and they're supposed to play an important role such as in FB3, as there seems to be no standardised convention, and the scancode may differ across engines.

In many cases, the sorts of things bound to key scripts would have been better off implemented as a permanent inventory item, with the key used as a shortcut.

They crop up in FIAT a fair bit. The number of times I've accidentally chugged a mana potion while trying to butt stomp is far too high...
