A. that doesn't solve my problem, which was trying to focus and the game instead casting a spell.

B. Why shouldn't I play with a keyboard and mouse? I don't own any controllers that work with a PC, and movement with arrow keys is perfectly acceptable.

In the end I started using some keys on the numpad instead of the mouse, though that was because the mouse is glitchy and I had to open the control options each time I opened a save to get the game to register it, but I still think setting focus and spells as separate non-overlapping keys should be an option - why does it go one way (with quick cast) and not the other?
