Hotkeys for certain weapons

According to http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/20948 I've concluded that it's not possible to do this yet, so it's a suggestion now.

I'd love to be able to set certain weapons at certain hotkeys. The scrollwheel is too sensitive and it's confusing to use it efficiently.
Example of a setup:
Z = Levi
X = DA
C = [random gun]
V = [random bomb]
(Atk is RMB, Walk WASD, Shield SPB)

[Edit: Those keys are all of course customizeable, this is just the setup I will be using myself]

It's a lot more efficient and clear if you need a certain weapon.
Ever liked how you change your weapons? I've never did.

Just put it on the control setup...

Leave it customizable for players to tinker with to their own style. I only use 2 weapons, but I know how frustrating things like this can be.

Of course, in the options > Controls you can set what key is set to "Weapon 1" till 4, personally I use the setup mentioned above.

Mhmm...

Still, people have different styles, so having a flexible version would be cool. I'd probably never use it though XD

Explain what's not flexible

Explain what's not flexible in this feature.
You can also assign all Weapon 1 till 4 keys to "None" and use the current thing if you want.

Duedudedudedude............

I'M NOT HOSTILE DON'T SHOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just saying that if they make it, don't forget to leave it as something players can alter themselves, i.e. the hotkey buttons.

(Not hostile? Lies, I murdered countless jellies....That'll haunt me someday...)

Srsly, don't shoot me.

I know. Just saying that it being flexible would be good. Not saying you din't say it, or anything else...

And why are we the only 2 people posting on any threads? This is kinda sad...

That means you have a drawback on my suggestion, with isn't true.

Be clear.

I second this request, I keep

I second this request, I keep over-switching weapons into a bomb or pistol when I want to select either of my two swords. I have a good mouse, but its scroll feature just isn't reliable, so I have to spam a weapon switch key. That's especially dangerous with run-by-revives:

Say you're spamming attack over a fallen knight to revive, with a sword that's just fine, you'll attack once and if you miss you'll just move forward until you revive him. With a bomb you keep raising and lowering your bomb basically keeping you rooted to the ground with enemies swarming you.

@Valkyrie182: If you don't acknowledge that you consider the OP's suggestion to be valid, it'll be regarded criticism instead of highlighting a certain aspect that's really important to you (it being customizable). Just say "That's a good suggestion/I agree with that suggestion, as long as {it's customizable for players to tinker with to their own style}". It'll turn into specification.

The speech is fine, you seem

The speech is fine, you seem to stay on topic. The double posting (in other threads) can be annoying to some players though, you can edit posts to include the message. Also: holy crap man, you posted to EVERY post on the first page. Good idea to run the hyperactivity out of your body?

Yeah pretty much ^^

I just scrolled through all the old posts where no-one goes anymore. Everyone only ever reads the first page or two so everything else ends up going to waste. Like the Tempered/Ascended idea, or the Random boss event.

And why are there so few people on now? You're like the third person other than me who posted in the last hour.

(Lawl, almost taken over page 2 as well ^^)

Can't you chill down a bit

Can't you chill down a bit instead of raging (even if it's not negative against the topic) all the time?

Anyway, still found no reason not to apply this as a second option of weapon selection.
