📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a customizable hotkey (default V) that allows you to attach or detach a nearby cart (nearest if there are several) without having to point the cross hairs at the attach area.
By default you can even attach the cart when out of position, as long as you are within the configurable range, as shown in this video:

Attaching from too far away tends to cause the cart to flip, so be judicious.

You can adjust the config values by editing this file using a text editor or in-game using the Config Manager.
To reload the config from the config file, type quickcart reset into the game's console (F5).
