Keyboard shortcut to select hero

Loving the heroes, however there is something missing!

Pressing 1,2 and 3 select your powers, it would be good if you could select your hero with a button as well :)

Hmm that button doesn't work for me, however the ' key (or @ with shift) does, although that's pretty far away from 1, 2 and 3 :)

This shortcut key was a bad choice.
In my country the code 192 is at the opposite side on the keyboard.
[*][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][**]
* - is the expected location
** - is the location in many country

My ~ key is at shift+^, ^ is two keys right of the 1-9 row, so it's really hard to type. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language_and_computers for more information about that layout.
Would be really awesome if hero was on 4... I guess the only reason you didn't put it there in the first place is that you plan on adding more spells in the future.
Making the keys configurable instead would be a big help, otherwise you'll soon run into the questionable pleasure of coming up with a single config that works for AZERTY, QWERTY, QWERTZ, Dvorak, etc.

Not that big of an issue, right now I mostly ignore the hero apart from initial placement, reinforcements are way easier to summon. Just would be nice to be able to play more efficiently.
