Post Hotkey Dynamics
So, I thought this up out of the blue, and I think it would be mainly useful for drones:


Ctrl + Clicking on a hotkey slot will equip or unequip everything in that slot, depending on if it is equipped or unequipped.

Shift + Clicking on a hotkey slot will add another item from the inventory to the slot (I.E. You have 4 DWOs equipped, unequip some other drones, then shift+click twice to add the 2 unequipped ones into the stack again)

Alt + Clicking does the opposite of shift+click, unequipping/removing an item from the stack and placing it in your inventory. If it is the last item in that slot, it unregisters the item from the hotkey.

Thoughts?

You could have shift+left-click equip one more and shift+right-click unequip one, for example.

In the SQUAD BAR, yes. Hotkeys =/= Squad bar. They are the much larger boxes ABOVE the squad bar.

Post Re: Hotkey Dynamics
what are you on about ? what the hell had the squadbar to do with anything here ?

yes shift+hotkey is bugged right now, to be fixed for next patch,

But for instance, if you have titan drones hotkeyed on 1. pressing shift1 would equip 1 more. pressing alt1 would unequip 1.

"ctrl is used for targeting purposes"

I don't see any reason why you would target in the hotkey bar, do you? You only use it to select multiple things in the SQUAD BAR.
