If sound is "choppy/hesitant": I used the ":audiobuf" console command, I set to 4096
(Larger number for older sound cards, smaller number for newer cards. But a "larger number" may "crash" the game, or slow it's performance.)
(Also note that a certain occasional "stutter" may be from the game internals, unrelated to audio buffer size)

To defeat the default of only being able to spin the viewpoint to 4 directions:
:cam ortho -f
To display inventory-items quality:
Adventure, Toggle, Quality (" ATQ ")
(For CONSOLE and MENU "commands", point away from chat, then type the "command")
If you need to re-display the items (Character health-display) along the top of the screen:
alt+u (twice)
To display currently held (in hands) item:
Ctl-E, or "Equipment" button at the top of the menu-box.
Then rt-click the TOOLBELT for a display of it's contents.
(I leave these open most of the time, moved to the top of my screen)
To display inventory: Tab or "Inventory" button at the top of the menu-box.
To take items from a stack: Rt-click the stack, hover mouse pointer over the box showing stack's "number of items", and "roll away from me" the mouse scroll wheel. (Also, lclk on the stack's box puts 1 item into your hand.)
By rolling the mouse wheel back and forth (mouse pointer hovering over stack's box), I can control the number of items that move between the stack and my inventory.
To take ALL the items from a stack, cabinet, crate, drying frame, tanning tub, smelter, etc:
shft+alt+rclk on stack or container.
However, shft+alt+rclk and shft+alt+lclk now seem to function as they did historically, xferring specific items to/from cabinet.
To create a stack:
lclk on a stackable item, rt-click (on PAVEMENT if it is a plantable veggie), then shift+alt+lclk drops all items applicable to that type of stack.
To drop ALL of the rclk'd item from inventory onto the ground/water:
ctl+alt+rclk on an item in inventory
Each seed-pile in inventory seems to need put into a barrel individually, neither shft+alt, nor shft-ctl seems to work. (Using ENDER client)
Same for putting coal into a furnace, such as ore smelter, holding shift keeps a coal in your hand, but these must be added individually.

You need a properly updated client, as old clients would interpret any Ctrl-click combination as clicking through to the map without the Ctrl, so on such a client that would be the same as simply shift-clicking the object in questions. The latest client only clicks through a held item if only Ctrl is held, so that Ctrl+Shift properly counts as clicking with the held item and with Ctrl.
I arrange to have my inventory 8 items wide. So, 1-1/2 rows of coal (12) per smelter. I used mouse-wheel to pull the correct number of rows of coal, and went from smelter to smelter, dispensing 1-1/2 rows of coal by shft+lclk 12 times. A little clumsy, a little tedious.
Feeding hay, other stackable items to a food trough, ore smelter, or compost bin, make a stack on the ground, then use a wheelbarrow to pick up the stack, then feed the container. Same thing to put ore into smelters, using wheelbarrow.
To move with a BUCKET that is in my hand, but not in a "hand-slot", ctl+lclk on destination. (May take repeated pressing of ctl key before the lclk will cause your character to move to the indicated destination)
(For the first 6 months I played H&H, I did not realize that a bucket, with or without contents, can go into one of the two hand-slots)
A bucket and it's contents can be placed into a cabinet or crate.
- Things I want to do, or that don't seem to work
Settings, such as display of inventory-item Quality, display of equipment, belt seem not to be persistent, after log out, and back in.
No ability to SORT BY QUALITY, or to move ALL OF ONE TYPE ITEM to/from a stack or container (from the middle of other items in inventory), it's TEDIOUS!
A shft+b should display the hitboxes of things on the ground. This is important to placement of items & buildings.
How do I determine the season, and what day (or how much is left) of the season? What my coordinates are? (And why isn't there someplace in the forum that gives the current info?) (Maybe open a page in the FORUM, maybe called "Almanac", that is constantly updated, showing time of day, and what day, in what season, it is currently)
How do I tell at a glance if an entire crop field is ready to harvest, and/or what stage it is? (Also, the "COLORED DOTS" used by Amber, allowed precise designation of which plants I wished to harvest.)
By seeing the "growth-stage number", you could detect "patterns", showing what part of your field would grow a crop more quickly. A crop that is marginally "ready to go to the next Q-level" could be planted in small quantities into the "good ground", and re-planted there until the "Q-level" was stable enough to plant the entire field.
"Hourglass Progress indicators" are not very helpful when repairing a Palisade wall-segment, and some other activities.
Ability to toggle a "farmer-view" of trees (Displays a miniature "tree-graphic"), for purposes of planting/harvesting.
Can't Set up a hotkey to quickly display the contents of the belt ("Equipment" button at the top of the menu-box, then rclk the belt that is equipped). Can't set keybindings for menu/button items that require "RCLK". (?)
Can't display the radius of food troughs, and bee skeps? (Other than the workaround of temporarily starting to build one.)
