This is really quick mockup, but what I am suggesting is "one click ability" to purchase "Armor + Full Ammo" and "Full Ammo with no Grenades"

The "Armor + Full Ammo" button allows a person to quickly purchase everything with a single click if they have the money. I know some people will say "How tough is it to click two buttons?" but it has happened to me more than a few times when I have just enough time to run into the trader and doing to click...slight delay on the server...then another click across the screen means that I leave the trader without either armor or ammo.

The "Full Ammo with no Grenades" lets the player buy all of his ammo without having to click down the list when he has enough money to buy all of his ammo but can't afford to spend hundreds on grenades. This will also tell the player if he can afford full ammo with no grenades.

The other suggestion is to mention in the scrolling text whenever someone heals another player. "CandleJack heals Nutterbutter for 30 health." for example.

I'd prefer if it was sort of in the middle on the top sort of area; Since there can often be so much text in the chat box, it gets flooded.
Also, having it on the middle/top-area means you don't stray your eyes too far away from the centerpoint.

But I am so for this idea. I've always wanted to thank who healed me, but never could if 3 people on my team have Mediguns.

All of it looks and sounds good to me. Any usability and UI improvements are a good thing for Killing Floor.

I'd like to have the "autofill ammo" button simply fill all of your weapons, with a separate button next to it (with simply a grenade icon perhaps?) to fill your grenades.

I prefer this. Back when grenades were good it wasn't as much an issue, but it's just a pain with support or demo which basically makes the auto-ammo button useless.
