Slightly updated my controls as well, making sure that the number 1 refers to the last slot. This allows you to use QWEASDZXC for slots 1-9 and '1' for slot 0, so they're all accessible. I think 'Laptop keyboard-only' would be a good description for these.

I've already seen one complaint in Mantis about how hard it is to control the game with the keyboard and a (normal) mouse together, so I think this configuration could be really useful for anybody gaming on a laptop.

Would it be possible to have a keymapping picture that shows movement and ability use rather than a wall of text that people have to sift through? This might help avoid some of the more obvious issues people have with control schemes being too obscure.

The simplest answer: no, unfortunately.  There's nothing we could do that would fit in remotely a similar space and that would be at all clear in terms of what is going on.
