Hotkey support?

[Dionysus]

Hi!
I came to HWR after being recommended it in a discussion about A Legionary's Life, a game with very similar gameplay. I enjoy this expanded, new take on the gameplay a lot, but there's one thing that's incredibly glaring in its absence -- hotkeys. Adding the option to press 'A' to get to the attack menu, 1-3 to select target for the attack, 'F' for feints, 'S' for shields, 'T' for stance shifting, 'I' for items, 'R' for recover and 'P' for respite would help speed up the gameplay and make it so, so much more comfortable to play.

Love the game otherwise! Keep it up!

Hey. Yeah, adding hotkeys makes a lot of sense - I will try to implement it with the next patch.

Great to hear. It'd make the game a lot quicker and smoother to play. Hotkeys or a redesign of the crafting interface would help a ton, too -- I spend so much time un and reequipping trinkets for crafting and resting optimization on my hardcore runs. (Switching between +endurance trinkets, +crafting trinkets, combat trinkets and unequipping stat debuffing armour. A button that just unequips all stat-debuffing armour would be amazing, too.

I know I'm asking for a lot, but something like trinket sets that you could swap between would be an absolute godsend. Scrolling down to two thirds the way my inventory three times to switch trinkets is a huge pain as it is.

I mentioned it in the original post - but, if you're looking for design inspiration, I think A Legionary's Life did the combat hotkeys really well. I play that game with just the keyboard.

Both hotkeys and trinket presets are coming with the next patch.

Sounds amazing!

Hello good Sir,

Will it include right-click for (un)equipping, buying and selling items? It really bothers me that right click does nothing in this game, expecially when buying those 7 leather - I need to click on the left to open item's dialog, then hit the small "buy" button on the right, then repeat this for each item. I have to undergo the same excercise when managing inventory in Chest etc...
Another must-have QOL improvement is to make right-click in combat menu returning player one step back (e.g. from body part choice to the attack choice), and Esc reseting combat menu to the initial state.

Thanks for the great game, and please make Ctrl rewind stop when girls show their ti77ies :)

Hey!
Yeah, I understand what you mean. Unfortunately the interface might really be very cumbersome at times - I am trying to gradually fix these issues and the next patch hopefully will be a very big step forward in the right direction.
When it comes to right mouse button - again I will try to add some actions for it but I cannot give you any promises at this time.
