In FO3 the Nr. 2 Key on the Keyboard (or D-Pad UP on the Gamepad) was a Hotkey like 1 and 3 - 8
In FNV Nr. 2 is occupied by that new shiny ammo switching function...

In the Options you can assign whatever key you want to that function (keyboard or mouse).
you also can delete the 2 Key entirely for that function or put the function on any other key
BUT the Nr. 2 Key will not revert to beeing a normal Hotkey, it just will stop working at all and keep showing the icon.

For the Xbox 360 gamepad:
i don't know... either my D-Pad sux extremely or something is off in the code there, i only tried playing with my gamepad once but the UP key on the D-Pad was occupied by the same function of course
and everytime i wanted to access what was in the Up Left (1) or Up Right (3) slot it switched ammo instead... as soon as UP is even sligthly touched.

I did never have any problems in FO3 when i just used it for switching weapons because they waited until i released the key but in FNV the Up key is instantly working.

So in fact it even borks the Gamepad controls for me.

Anyway, my [REQ]uest would be simply to revert the hotkey nr. 2 functionality to what it was in FO3.

thx.


i hope this can be done now that NVSE is out there

NVSE can't yet disable default controls and assign scripted functions to the control's key at the same time. Have you tried changing the "swap ammo" key to an unrelated key, and rebinding the 8th hotkey to "2"?

@Cipscis
You can not change the hotkeys in the Settings Menu.
You thinking about some .ini tweak?

I've heard rumor that allowing 2 to be set as a hotkey again is on the list of official fixes for an upcoming patch... anyone know if that is truth or pure speculation?
