Hotkeys for Dog Commands

If we would get hotkeys for the dog commands, we could use third party software like VoiceAttack to actually give verbal commands to our dogs ingame.

It would make controlling the dog way more comfortable, natural and immersive.

Having to use the B-Wheel is annoying.

Tapping B will perform the heel command.

It will make your dog heel if away, or track when you just selected a track, or pet him if you're close to him.

Which makes it not ideal for what I suggested.
Ideally, we'd have a separate key (or key combo) for everything.

Absolutely. I am actually surprised that there aren't any. Classic has them.

Classic has so many awesome things we will most likely never get... :(

I agree, I am disabled and have just 1 hand and VoiceAttack is my best friend for the game... lack of keybinds is a serious issue.

I didn't even think of that!

Keybinds should get a higher priority perhaps... hope the devs read this.

You'll never get all these keys that are being requested because only PCs have keyboards, and the stupid game machines they try to support, don't. PCs will be limited, because game machines are. That is why I guarantee you, you will be stuck with the wheel.

Oh God, I didn't even think of pesky consoles that, again, ruin it all for PC players...

I guess you are, unfortunately, right.
