[MOD] Additional hotkeys for Don't Starve

[modding]

Current system of numeric bindings wasn't good enough for me, so I made a quick mod that adds some hotkeys for fast and convenient switching tools, crafting or building.

As for items, for example, you can press "t" to create a torch. If there is a torch, it equips it. If the torch is already equipped, it creates a reserve one. If a torch is already equipped and there is a torch in inventory, pressing the hotkey swaps them. Same for other tools. Checks and recipe preconditions remain intact, resources are properly consumed etc.

As for buildings, if hotkey is pressed, corresponding building will be automatically created at the current position of a character, without accompanying mouse point-and-click interaction.

And some shortcuts to free hands quickly. Really may save time and sometimes life in the darkness.

 

t - torch
 
a - axe
p - pick
m - machete
s - shovel
h - hammer
 
c - create a camp fire
o - create an endothermic fire

j - drop held item
y - eat held item
u - unequip hands slot

 

Do you find it useful? Do you have any suggestions how to organize or implement it better? What shortcuts do you need?
