SkyUI Using numbers not F Keys

[CavalierLady]

I have assigned weapons and armor to hotkeys F1, F2, etc. But because the button icons are large and the "F1" (etc) is tiny on my laptop, it is very hard for my eyes to see when an enemy appears and I'm instantly flustered and want to quickly change from, say, bow and arrow to sword and war axe.

Can I assign these to numbers 1 through 8 instead in mod configuration control? That would be much easier for me and quickly tap. It's my first time playing Skyrim, setting these up, and didn't want to mess anything up by doing something wrong. I'm using SkyUI Version 4.

That's where they're normally set to. Only F5 (quicksave), F9 (quickload), and F12 (screenshot) should have anything assigned to them by default.

Well, the deal is that vanilla Skyrim lets you assign favourites to numbers, and SkyUI additionally allows you to assign groups of things to function keys.

If you assign two one-handed weapons to numbers, then you can switch to eg a bow and back just by using those numbers (the weapon that was in your off-hand is remembered, so you simply need to re-equip your right-hand weapon to go back to using both).

But if you switch to eg spells on both hands, you need to open the favourites menu and manually set your weapon back to your off-hand before you can dual-wield again.

By setting a group to your function keys you can get around this, though personally I've only ever bothered to make the one single group.

I don't know if it's possible to inverse the button functionality.

Good to know. The groups themselves are in numbers at the bottom, but the default hotkeys for those groups in SkyUI V.4 are the F keys. (I was wondering about the F5 save button yesterday.) I'll switch my favorite combinations to the number keys instead. That will be a big help. And I was able to place the only two spells I have in the game so far (Flames and Sparks) to one hotkey yesterday and assign which hand as well. Thank you for your replies!
