Assignable Hotkeys

[hozz1235]

I'm pretty sure this has been brought up before, but just in case!

For example, instead of the hard-coded 2 = Equip Weapon, let us assign the 2 hotkey to a specific weapon in our inventory.  If that weapon is dropped/destroyed, revert to the old method.

One drawback to this is that you would lose the ability to cycle through weapons by repeatedly pressing 2.  A possible workaround would be to let us map keys 5-0.

Alternatively, if we hold down a number key it brings up the wheel (light or weapons) for the associated key.

Oh that's neat

Being able to bind keys properly would be nice. This was solved in the 90s so I don't know how it's still a problem.

I don't see that this means we couldn't have cycling. You could set [2] to Vaughn's Rifle, say, so that always comes up first, then keep pressing to cycle through your weapons. That would be basically the same as what we have now, but we can customise which weapon the cycle starts with.

Hotkey to DROP TINDER while walking would be great. I discovered I can mark good paths with them: where is not a weak ice, which way is to nearest shelter.... or sometimes, just funny texts when I wait for my meat to be cooked.

Later in the game, they are not much needed for their original purpose anyway.

This would be nice.  btw, if "FU" means what I think, not really appropriate for this community...

Yes, absolutely! It was my message to the nature, after 114 days on Interloper.

"Sometimes, just staying alive is an act of bravery." or how they say it in one of the intro texts.
