Hotbar for alice suspenders
Is there a reason for why the numerically first hotkey for the suspenders webbing is for the right and the next number is for the left? It messes with my head when trying to quickly equip those slots.

Because 90% folks are right handed, this is a developer convention for left-to-right visual mapping.

In game design, 1 often corresponds to the leftmost "primary" or "first" slot, and it usually mapped to the right side simply to mirror a natural, left-to-right inventory or equipment UI.

It works the opposite with the webbing part of the suspenders though, I just said that. That's why I struggle with it.

Haha, didnt pay attention to such details. Maybe oversight, or it was numbered clockwise.
What was driving me mad, webbing can be 4 5... or 5 6... or 6 7... depending if you equip it before holster and backpack or after.

But you can simply assign from the slot itself, right click on it and select an unassigned item from the main inventory.

Fixing the numbering is a difficult problem. I think people will have different opinions on whether number 4 should be Alice Belt's knife or the gun in the holster.
Some people probably don't even use Alicebelt in the first place.
