Swap z and Z? (spell casting and zapping wands)

This suggestion is something I found very interesting as I never thought about it but it reflects with my experience: I'm casting a lot more spells than I am zapping wands. Thus it might make sense to swap the default key bindings for that.

Usually I'm totally opposed to doing such major changes but this one sounds very very reasonable as it would reduce the number of keypresses from2 to 1 for a very common activity.

What do you think?

Personally, I use wands far more than spells; I rarely play casters. So I'd personally swap it back, partly for that, and partly because I've been playing for over 10 years and that sort of change would probably just cause me to make mistakes all the time.

Updating to a new version doesn't change the keyboard file, right? If so, then most of experienced players will never notice this change anyway.

Updating to a new version actually changes the keyboard files (and safely stores the old one) as the keyboard configuration files by now carry a version number.
