📋 About This Mod
Last Used Weapons
Adds new shortcut to equip items you last held in your hands. Think 'Q' in CS. Also auto equips weapons when leaving water if they were forcibly holstered on entering it.

[]Adds new shortcut ("T" by default) which when pressed will holster current items in your hand and switch to last used ones. This works with both single handed and two handed weapons, as well as tools and any mix of all of them.
[
] This is not the same as "R" in vanilla game, which works esentially as holster/unholster your current weapons. Instead, this mod allows you to switch between two sets of weapons with a single key. For example, equip Sword+Shield, then manually switch to a Bow, then hit "T" which will equip a Sword+Shield. Hit it again and it will cycle back to the Bow.[] I find this useful when switching to pickaxe or torch and weapons back and forth while mining or exploring.

[]Last used weapons will be automatically restored when getting out of water, if they were holstered by getting into it in the first place. This feature can be disabled in the config if you dont want it.
Install
You'll need to download BepInEx for Valheim if this your first Valheim mod.
To install this mod place the dll file in Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/ folder.
I've tested this mod with Use Equipment in Water and they should work fine together.
Notes
You can rebind the key in the config file (it will appear only after you run the game with the mod at least once): Valheim/BepInEx/config/bakaSpaceman. LastUsedWeapons.cfg.
Or download BepInEx Config Manger plugin to be able to edit it in-game by pressing F1.
You can find the code for the mod on GitHub.
