why not go crazy and let them click on the door with the mouse, then you in your infinite wisdom have programmed the computer to know they need the key for it in their inventory, and it just opens the door

I don't want players going from the mouse to keyboard, and unfortunately I don't have pixel-level feedback when the user clicks the mouse in Hugo, just blocks. So I can do big areas just fine, but not smaller ones.

But furthermore, the door could be picked, or exploded with TNT or had "strength" used on it and so forth -- once that happens, clicking would need to bring the same menus up as Wasteland did. And that brings back the existing problem of having to click and scroll through menus of possible skills.
