Tired of holding ESC, scrolling through the radial wheel menu, and releasing just to open your inventory? This mod adds direct keyboard shortcuts to instantly open game menus with a single key press. No more radial wheel needed.
Default hotkeys:
– I = Inventory
– J = Quest Book / Journal
– K = Skill Tree
– L = Knowledge
All hotkeys are fully configurable via the INI file.
This mod does NOT simulate key presses or mouse input. It calls the game’s internal panel functions directly, making it instant and reliable regardless of FPS or system performance.
