Simple Hotkeys

Simple Hotkeys

A small, growing collection of simple hotkey actions for X4: Foundations, built on top of the Native Hotkey API - every action below is bindable by the player through the native game keybinding UI, just like a vanilla control.

Overview

This mod doesn't add any UI of its own. It registers a set of small, focused actions with the Native Hotkey API, which then exposes them on its own Hotkey Management > Hotkey Bindings page (under Options), where the player assigns the actual physical key through the same native remap UI (and conflict-detection) every other control uses.

Most actions only fire while the player is actually piloting their own ship (no menu open); a couple are map-only instead - see each action's description below for where it applies.

[] Rename Selected/Targeted Object - opens the vanilla rename popup for the selected (map) or targeted (piloting) object, if it's player-owned.

[] Follow Target - engages autopilot to the current target (which tracks a moving target, i.e. "follow"); pressed again on the same target, it disengages autopilot instead.

[] Eject Illegal Wares - drops all illegal cargo from the ship's hold and the player's own inventory, based on the local sector's police faction.

[] Print Combined Skill of Target - shows a notification with the combined skill of the current target's crew.

[] Zoom In (Flight Mode) - piloting only: steps the camera FOV through increasing zoom factors (1x -> 2x -> 4x -> 8x) on repeated presses; pressing again once at the highest factor resets straight back to the FOV that was
