This problem appears to be more along the lines of something you guys need to fix.

Just for the sake of examples we'll be using hotkeys 1-4 on a 360 d-pad.

If I have 2 weapons that are exactly alike in the favorites list and and I press right 2 times to dual equip the swords, then proceed to press up on the d-pad to equip a bow. I find that the hotkey for my swords has been erased.

2nd problem:
So.. I don't want to carry a shield around. I want to be a sword swinging spell slinger that parry's.
I cannot de-equip the spell in my left hand by using hotkeys. It instead dual wields the spell for me. When I would prefer it to just get rid of the spell so I can go back to deflecting blows with the sword.



The solution has to be...
Make hotkeys remember the current hand you had it equipped on when you set the hotkey.
Multiple presses of the hotkey only affect equipping and de-equipping the chosen skill in that hand only.
Split a favorited weapon away from the stack.

Instead of
1. Iron Sword (2)

It should say
1. Iron sword(Left handed hotkey)
2. Iron sword(right handed hotkey)
