Requires OBSE v0015 or higher!

2. Using Improved Hotkeys


Using Improved Hotkeys is as simple as it gets: while in the inventory or spellbook menu, hold MODIFIER 1 (By default LEFT-SHIFT) to access extra hotkey set 1 or MODIFIER 2 (by default this is set to LEFT-ALT) to access extra hotkey set 2 and then number you wish to assign the selected item or spell to - just like the default hotkeys, this must be a number between 1-8. When holding MODIFIER 1/2 and 1-8 you will see the extra hotkey ring just like you see the default hotkey ring. To select the item or spell while playing, simply press MODIFIER 1/2 and the number again.

To bind the equipment you are currently wearing, go to the inventory screen and press BIND KEY (by default this is set to RIGHT-SHIFT) and GEAR KEY 1/2/3/4 (by default these are 9/0/-/=). To select an equipment set while playing, simply press GEAR KEY 1/2/3/4.

To delete a spell from your spellbook, press DELETE - you will get a message asking you to confirm before the spell is actually deleted. Note that after deletion, the spell will still be visible until you select another one.

MODIFIER 1/2, BIND KEY, GEAR KEY 1/2/3/4 and MENU KEY can all be changed through an in-game menu, which is accessed by pressing BIND KEY (by default RIGHT-SHIFT) and MENU KEY (by default O) at the same time. You can also turn off messages and reset all settings to their defaults here.
