May I ask where in particular you find the annoying repetition of commands? I am interested in fixing these issues with the next patch, at least for the pre-alpha and as something to remember as we continue making progress.
The issue lies in the fact that the game doesn't automatically highlight the text field when you put in a command. You have to click and then type every time.
Ahhh, I see! Well, fortunately, that's a very easy fix to make. As for the repetition of commands in general, I believe I have some remedies on the way, namely allowing one to select from the command history and with the encounter design requiring less of it.
