Wielding/Unwielding efficiency

[theaeg]

So, I'm wielding bow in slot 1 and arrow in slot 2. I fire arrow and press w to wield my northern spear. Now I'm wielding bow (1) and spear (2). Do I have to spend another turn to specifically unwield the bow, so I can use my spear most effectively? Is there a better command combination to put my spear into my first hand slot, to replace my bow and not lose a turn?

I would like to:

bow (1), arrow (2)
fire
bow(1) --> spear (1), empty (2)
spear stab
not die

Is that possible with the current controls? If so, how do I accomplish this?

Thanks community.

+1 I think this would be very useful if it can be done. Maybe a variant wield command?

'x' will exchange items in hand (1) and Hand (2)

To empty hand (2) bow, you can drop it, unwield slot (2), or throw the bow.

Right. The request is for an overriding wield regardless of how many hands are needed for the next item - a way to wield to the same hand the bow is already in (putting the bow away in the process) with a single operation.
