YES! now I can spam Q and buy my basic magics before everyone else
But in all seriousness I think we should be cautious with such a change. I used to play Dota which had a similar hotkey system with the shops. Occassionally I would try to talk with a shop selected and accidently buy one or several items I didn't intend to buy. Now this isn't a problem with the "quick 100% refund" change you implemented (which is a very good mechanic), but I'm pretty confident most players are unaware of this fact. Also I do question the usuability of such a change, I didn't know any dota players, even to my knowledge in the ultra-competitive level that used the shop's hotkeys instead of just clicking on what they wanted.
