change "pour->on ground" and create keybind POUR

[Ekcin 2,407]

The recent rclick mechanic of selecting "on ground" before pouring is just stupid. There is no alternative to pouring on ground (maybe a long gone or retired develope had intended further choices), so the "on ground" is useless carpal tunnel torture. And it would be handy to have a keybind POUR .

It was initially changed because of many misclicks. Forcing you to select "on ground" basically gives you a small shield to prevent you from misclicks. 

 

An improved suggestion might be to customize how such keybindings work. Some people could opt in for a more controlling feature, some could opt out.

Pick up some dirt, right click on it.  Map the 'as pile' option to a key.   I have ctrl-d mapped to 'as pile' (this functions as drop on ground for most things) and alt-d mapped to drink.  I occasionally make the mistake of using the wrong (ctl vs alt) one when trying to drink.  This results in the liquid being poured on the ground.

You can use the keybind drop to pour liquid.
