Setup Guide: Updated Keyboard Radials

----------------------------------------
JAN 2020 UPDATE: as of iceborne, the game defaults to more useful settings and has its own little radial tutorial. some of these steps are no longer necessary.
----------------------------------------

Better late than never. As of the late November update, Keyboard+Mouse now has functional keybind mapping. If you don't like scrolling through your items, take the time to set it up. This is a quick and dirty guide for some of the more convoluted steps.

Setup Guide: Updated Keyboard Radials

do these things

Go to your training area. This'll let you set up your binds and experiment with them as you go.

• Access this menu by pressing Escape. Set Radial Menu Type to Keyboard.
  

• In Options>Controls, set One Key Keyboard Shortcuts to On and Item Control Settings to Type 1.
  

• In Keyboard Settings, scroll to the bottom and bind the four radial menus from F1-F4 to more easily accessible keys.
  

• Before you continue, be aware that everything we do from now needs to be saved to your item loadouts. Open your box, Manage Items, and press escape to access your loadout list. Make one if you don't have one. Rename with esc, save with space.
  

• If you have your base loadout ready, you can start customizing the 4 quick radials.
  

• This is the easy part. Add all the stuff you want to the radials you bound earlier. As a small example of convenient mapping, I have flash pods on G-4. H-4 crafts more flash pods instead. You get the idea. When you're done, save your item loadout as instructed above. Save the game too while you're at it.

Saw the guide (Updated Keyboard Radials) and thought there was something new. Darn. But still a nice guide for those that didn't know. Also, my favorite part:

The only fails i've ever had have been multiplayer...... (due to others carting)

This was really useful.... once I figured out how to enable the keyboard radial menu.

For anyone else trying to figure out why the One Key Keyboard Shortcuts option is not available, you will need to change the Radial Menu Type option to Keyboard in the Item's and Equipment section of the menu as shown here .
