The settings menu for this mod is based on l3lessed's work on his minimap mod, thanks to him for that.

You can map hotkeys using numbers 1-9. Pressing 0 will toggle the hotkey bar settings menu on and off.

To map a spell - open your Spellbook and click on your desired spell, then press the number you want to map it to (1-9).

To map an item - open your inventory and simply hover your mouse over the desired item, then press which number to map it to (1-9). You should be able to use all usable items this way, although that isn't guaranteed for other mods out there that introduce custom items. Message me on here if you think something isn't working.

To map a shield / weapon to the left hand - hold shift when mapping your desired hotkey, to map a shield / weapon to the left hand. Note that you must map something to the right hand first.

To map horse/cart mounting - simply map the horse/cart as if it were an item.

Multiple Hotkey rows - You can now have multiple Hotkey rows (up to 5), and can determine the size of each row (from 1-9) which can all be configured in the Hotkey Bar mod settings by pressing 0.

To cycle the hotkey rows - use the mouse scroll wheel, or use the - and = buttons. The scroll direction can be inverted in the mod settings by pressing 0. In game settings - Pressing 0 will toggle a settings menu to modify the appearance of the Hotkey Bar, and other features such as enabling equip delay times. These settings will be saved when you save your game, and will then be applied for new playthroughs.

Persistent Spell Icons - Saving your game will now store any spell icons you have selected in your spellbook, so they will be applied for new playthroughs. Custom spells will still work this way, but will be matched on nam
