  1. TL;DRThis mod can be useful for both players and modders. You can add/edit hotkeys by editing the hotkeys.json (changes will be applied immediately). Key bindings can be changed in the mod options menu (key + key modifier).

  Some features:

  • []you can execute multiple console commands with a single keypress

    []you can use a hotkey as a switch between multiple states (execute different commands on each keypress)

    []you can repeat a command continuously while a hotkey is pressed

    []you can use an optional key modifier for a hotkey

  • a lot of new console commands are added (e.g. for using/equipping items or for connecting modules to the Sea Truck)

    2. MOD OPTIONS MENU All the hotkeys are added to the mod options menu by default. There are two bind buttons for each hotkey, but unlike the vanilla bindings, they are not for primary/secondary keys, but for key and optional key modifier.

    Both buttons can be used for binding key as well as for binding modifier.

    You can use Control, Alt and Shift keys as modifiers (left and right keys are treated as different keys). You can also use these keys alone, in that case they'll work just as ordinary keys.

    If you bind two modifier keys or two non-modifier keys simultaneously, then only first of them will be used.

    You can clear binding by pressing Delete button while hovering mouse pointer over a bind button (no need to click on a button).

    3. HOTKEYS. JSONAll the hotkeys are specified in the hotkeys.json in the mod folder. You can open this file right from within the game (button in the mod options menu).

    Changes in the hotkeys.json are applied immediately (the moment you switch back to the game), you don't need to reload the game in order to add or edit hotkeys.

    Sample hotkeys.json with three hotkeys:

    "hotkeys": [

    "key": "A",

    "command": "some_console_command"

    "key": "B",

    "command": "some_console_command1; some_console_command2",

    "label": "Two commands"

    "key": "LeftAlt+C",

    "command": "some_console_command value1 | so
