Hotbar slot `, 0, -, =, and backspace

The 2nd row of the QWERTY keyboard (below the function keys) has 14 keys including the backspace. Let's use the whole range. We don't use number keys above 6 anyways, so why not use all 14 keys to fix the inventory problem? Including `, 0, -, =, and backspace to the hotbar slot could also require the slots above to be available for the full grid to look good, which means, instead of 9x4+1=37 slots, we can get 14x4+1=57 slots! That's over 54% more slots! Let's also extend the chest slots for the extended width. 42 slots for a single chest and 84 for a double? That's gonna be insane!

    It would be possible to add a 10th slot that would be selected on the 0 key as in terraria, but more than 10 slots would look strange. In addition to adding the 10th slot, need to expand the size of the chest and player's inventory to 10 items in line.
