I've played Dwarf Fortress for a while and my only problem with it is that the UX is terrible. The controls I have to use are not consistent. Sometimes the same menu behaves in a different way depending on context and so on. So my question is whether there is a mod which fixes (or at least tries to fix) the UX issues with Dwarf Fortress **without** having to use external tools?

I've tried Dwarf Therapist, Stonesense and Lazy newb pack which are good but I don't like that I always have to `Alt`+`Tab` out of the game if I have to switch roles and such.

So the main thing is that I like the ASCII art and I can install a texture pack which makes it even better but the controls are disastrous. Is there a mod to make the UI better without external tools?
