📋 About This Mod
Update: This mod is outdated. Please use the updated version by Marty81 found here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12244 This mod adds new special spell hotkeys which allows you to have several additional cast keys. The default keys are 1 - 9 on the number pad but this can be easily customized. To bind a spell to a cast key, just press that key and the 0 key on the number pad at the same time and your active spell will be bound to it. You can access an ingame menu by pressing either the \'/\' key on the number pad or by pressing both left and right CTRL keys at the same time (for those with laptops). In the menu, you can change the keys for binding spells, casting spells, and accessing the menu. Normally, when you cast a spell with the cast keys you\'ll cast the spell but your current active spell will stay the same. But in the menu there\'s an option to toggle spell switching which would make it so that when you press a cask key your current active spell will switch as well. You also have the option to scroll through your spells via mouse wheel. By default this is on but you can turn it off with the menu. When spell scrolling is on, zooming with the mouse wheel is disabled. You can also empty a hotkey by pressing the . Del key on the number pad and the spell key you want emptied. This key is customizable in the menu. You can display which spell is bound to what key by pressing the + key on the number pad and the casting hotkey whose spell you want to check. Works with all spells including custom and mod-added ones. Requires OBSE!
