📋 About This Mod
Expanded Hotkeys by LangyMD Version 0. 6 Alpha Compiled with NVSE v1. 0b5 Note: This mod requires NVSE. Download it here: http://nvse.silverlock.org/ ----------------- Table of Contents ----------------- 1. Overview 2. Known Issues 3. Installation 4. Uninstallation 5. Revision History 6. Statement of use in Other Works ----------------- Overview ----------------- Primary Features: -Increased Number of Hotkeys (a maximum of 54 total hotkeys) -Hotkeys Have Memory (If you have an item hotkeyed and then drop it, when you pick it back up it will retain its original hotkey) -Assign Multiple Items to the Same Hotkey -Scroll Through Hotkeyed Weapons -All Keys Used are User-Definable You can access the expanded hotkey slots by using any combination of the three modifier buttons (Shift and Alt by default, the third modifier being disabled) along with the normal hotkey keys (1,3-8 by default). For example, if you push Shift-Alt-1 and click on a hotkeyable item, it will be assigned to your new Hotkey Slot (Shift+Alt+1), allowing you to press Shift-Alt-1 while playing the game to call up that hotkeyed item. You can scroll between weapons in your hotkeys, by default using the numpad plus and minus (+ and -). You can assign multiple items to the same hotkey (Item Sets). When assigning items to hotkeys, press your Item Set Modifier key (by default Left or Right Ctrl) in order to toggle that item as one of the items in your item set. Press two of the same modifier buttons at once in order to access the configuration menu. For example, press both Left Shift and Right Shift at once. You can remap any of the hotkeys used, from 1,3-8 to the modifier keys to which keys the default hotkeys are reset to during GameMode. Using this, you can set one of the other hotkeys to the \'2\' slot, but if you do so please remember to set the Ammo Swap key to something else. You can activate debug messages in the in-game menu. These messages appear in the console (use the tilde key, \'`\', to open it by default). If you encounter any issues with this mod, please try activating the debug messages and letting me know what messages you see when you notice any errors. ----------------- Known Issues ----------------- This mod is currently in Alpha. The mod is relatively hacked together, as NVSE currently lacks the script functions required to make it truly seamless. There are several known issues with this mod at this time: -You must not have any controls assigned to either the hotkeys you are using or the hotkey re-directs. If you do, during gameplay those hotkeys will be reassigned to the normal 1,3-8 keys (or the numpad keys, if they\'re the 1,3-8 keys) and interfere with the script\'s hotkey functionality. -If you exit the game via a crash, your hotkey controls may continue to be set to the numkey buttons if you then deactivate this mod without reloading the game and quitting properly first. -There is no way to show whi
Expanded Hotkeys is a small utility mod for Fallout: New Vegas that increases the number of hotkey slots from the default to 54 and adds memory to them, so you can drop and reacquire items without resetting the hotkey. It's a quality-of-life improvement for players who rely heavily on hotkeys.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge quality-of-life boost for players who use hotkeys constantly—54 slots is a massive upgrade.
- The memory feature is a clever touch that saves you from tedious reassignment after dropping and picking up items.
- Community-approved with 531 endorsements and over 11k downloads, so it's proven useful.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2010—likely outdated and may have compatibility issues with current game versions or mods.
- It's a niche utility—if you don't use hotkeys heavily, this mod won't change your game much.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who live by hotkeys and want more slots without the hassle of reassigning after inventory changes. If you're a casual player who rarely touches hotkeys, you can skip this one.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2010, test it with a clean save first to ensure it works with your current setup.
- If you use a mod manager, install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder to avoid conflicts.
- Remember that hotkey memory only works for items you drop—if you sell or lose them, you'll need to reassign.
