    Perhaps for the gravity options you could bind only one key, which would display a pop-up menu, that contains all of the gravity options, upon being pressed?

    What's wrong with the number pad? it's there, unused, and quick.

    Nothing's wrong with it. I just had a thought about a way that the keyboard interface could be simplified. You know, just an idea, that's all.

    EDIT: Good work, by the way!

    One problem with the numpad is that not everyone has it. I know that i don't.

    Laptops/low-keycount-keyboards almost all have a key/key combo to enable a number pad over 789 down. A percentage of user clicking a button then using the keys is less of an inconvenience than all users using a button then clicking (in my opinion) though I do have an idea...

    Someone somewhere on the forums suggested any direction gravity and I said I'd think about it and I have, what if you pressed "g" and clicked (like the line tool) and the direction you dragged was the gravity, all directions any angle with the length being the strength? Using basic math I can code in the ability without too much time really so I'll try it when I get home.

    Great mod! The only tiny flaw I've seen so far is that concrete doesn't adjust its stackability when gravity direction is different.
