How about a new key?

It would be equivalent with pressing '5' when entering the room, from then it'd be the opposite of the previous move: q-w, 1-9, 2-8, 3-7, 4-6, 5-5. So instead of endless qw'ing, you'd just press '0' until all the roaches are gone. A lazy smitemaster is a happy smitemaster

A variation to this (though I realize it would break the tradition of 1 move/keypress): the Lazy Like Hell Smitemaster Button. A single press of that would make qw'ing instead of you until there's a continuous supply of roaches.

This is a documented feature. Press Ctrl+[Key] to perform the action and its opposite.

For example, press Ctrl+Q, and you swing anti-clockwise then clockwise, or Ctrl+7, and you'll move northwest then southeast, while pressing Ctrl+5 will make you wait until the next spawn cycle.

....I so did not know about Ctrl + 5.

The rest, though, well.

Yeah me too. They should tell us these things. Just kidding. They probably said it but I just forgot since I never used it.

Then you probably didn't know that if you press Ctrl-Backspace after you die, you will get revived and then killed again.
Mwahahahahaha!

You can press F1 in game to bring up the Deadly Browser of Death (DBOD), which contains all the help pages.

You might find it quite hard to find, but the keyboard commands can be found by

1) choose the "get Help" option from the main screen, then
2) select "Game Elements" link, and then
3) click on the words "Keyboard commands".

It's not linked directly from the first screen of DBOD.
