It would be very nice to have the ability to pathmap out of a room that's already been conquered, ala DROD: RPG. I don't have a good suggestion for the controls, though, as Ctrl is taken.

I like this suggestion a lot. It would make navigating through hub levels much quicker and easier too.

I very much agree with this request. I think I've seen reasons given why this wouldn't work in the greatest imaginable generality before, but at the very least having a command to instantly go "as far in [direction]" as the player can until they bump into something would be handy. Or just pathmapping through things that are completely clear and free of obstacles, which interrupts if anything suddenly becomes an obstacle to the path mid-stream.
