It has not yet been addressed to my knowledge, but I'm hoping that with an additional developer on board, it will come more quickly even if it's not a top priority.
Are you certain? I've played the classic version for ten years and the Steam release has completely different hotkeys, and is missing keyboard control for some tasks entirely.
If you're using the Lazy Newb Pack, type "autolabor enable" into the dfhack window, you'll never have to think about it again. If you need to restrict jobs to the experts, there are easier ways to do it. For example, you create a crafting station that only your expert stonecrafters can use, then send all of your stonecrafting jobs to that single workstation.
Endlessly fiddling with Dwarf Therapist is not a rewarding use of anyone's time.
I think they're adding a similar feature to the premium release.
I sure do! I have hundreds of saved pocket articles that I'm too impatient to devote 20 minutes to reading. It's far more immediately gratifying to skim something for a minute and move on to the next factlet.
You can do it quite easily without Therapist by typing "enable autolabor" into your dfhack console window. All job assignments basically get turned on for every dwarf.
