How to add 1-5 speed shortcuts! (SIMPLE FIX)

I have gotten sick of tired of having to use my mouse with my tkl keyboard to change speed on every Hoi4 game and I have now found a way to use keys 1-5 to change between speeds 1-5.

DEVS IF U READ PLEASE ADD IT'S SIMPLE.
I decided not to make a mod as it would be broken most of the time every major update.
Enjoy!




Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\interface

Then open the second topbar with notepad.(The GUI FILE)

Hold Ctrl and F and search speed and look for the lines below.

Add these lines to these places and keep the quotes for this to work.

shortcut = "1"

shortcut = "2"

shortcut = "3"

shortcut = "4"

shortcut = "5"

It should look something like this.


buttonType = {
name = "button_speedstep1"
quadTextureSprite ="GFX_speed_step"
position = { x=94 y =27 }
clicksound = click_default
shortcut = "1"
}

buttonType = {
name = "button_speedstep2"
quadTextureSprite ="GFX_speed_step"
position = { x=119 y =27 }
clicksound = click_default
shortcut = "2"
}

buttonType = {
name = "button_speedstep3"
quadTextureSprite ="GFX_speed_step"
position = { x=144 y =27 }
clicksound = click_default
shortcut = "3"
}

buttonType = {
name = "button_speedstep4"
quadTextureSprite ="GFX_speed_step"
position = { x=169 y =27 }
clicksound = click_default
shortcut = "4"
}

buttonType = {
name = "button_speedstep5"
quadTextureSprite ="GFX_speed_step"
position = { x=194 y =27 }
clicksound = click_default
shortcut = "5"
