clean start key (respawn w/o loading autosave)

There are instances where a feature that will allow one to respawn like in the origional doom(pistol, 100% health, 50 bullets) is very helpful like starting a new level with 2% health and almost no ammo. Especially on a level like, Dis E3M8. So there should be an option to start with a clean slate. should be under controls. for example [shift + space] could do it.

Which leads to- Key bindings:
If it is not already possible:
double keyboard taps
shift + [key ]options.

Umm... what?

IDCLEV or ~map. And if you don't want the map to reset start the game as one man multiplayer (-host 1 for example).

Double taps: Heh, only useful for Unreal-style dodging. Otherwise annoying and useless.

Shift+key: Useless in-game because it would be rather hard to use. Besides, if you've managed to bind all of your keys, you've got a serious problem with resource management

Maybe a list of options:
Load most recent
Load game
Restart level

Or have two different respawns, load most recent save \ fresh start.

I would apreciate if this was considered before it was passed on as not needed.

doublebindings are already possible, the command is "doublebind key action" in the console (~)

This is possible anyway. Make one key change a bunch of aliases when it's pressed and change em back when it's released, and bind the keys to those aliases.
