Why It's Good For The Game
We already have a bunch of maps with multiple Z-levels (Northstar, Tramstation, Icebox) and I'm sure there will be more to come.
As these maps become more common, the ability to move up/down z-levels is bound to become important, if not essential. So I thought that, instead of hiding this ability behind a tab or a hotkeys menu, why not have it front and center?
Also, I remember a long time ago there was a push to make the verbs menu on the top right obsolete, this helps to get us to that goal if we're still doing it.
(This whole thing was inspired by me seeing what I assume to be a not-so-new but not-so-experienced player being confused as to how to go down those exact stairs on Tramstation's science when the gravgen was broken, and my inability to be able to explain it to them, partly because i couldnt remember what the key was called, and partly because i was a mime.)
