Scrolling through your weapons is nice and all, but in those tense moments where you need to switch to a different weapon fast [We've all been there], scrolling quickly to find a weapon can be a burden, and in some cases buggy [switch to a different weapon too fast and attempt to use it, you end up using the same weapon instead of the one you scrolled to]. I'd like to be able to bind my weapon slots to somewhat aid these situations. Having my weapons bound to keys like 1-4 would be that much more helpful to a gamer like me [I'd probably set useable items to F1-F4 since I never find myself using those in battle anyways].

I'm sure you folks at OOO are already working on making weapon switching a bit more stable, but don't forget about the small things that could make a great game like Spiral Knights that much more better :3

Yes yes yes, a million times

Yes yes yes, a million times yes. I love having my 3 swords and a gun, but between teh time delay to switch weapons and the need to cycle twice to get from my faust to my flourish, I'm seriously contemplating switching to just 3 swords. Please put this in, or at least a way to jump by two weapons and not just one. Some way for me to have quick access to all my gear.

It's a helpful addition that doesn't hurt anyone. It doesn't even have to be bound by default: just add the option.

I don't use four weapons, but it would be nice to have this when I reach that point.

Here is a quick easy option to solve this problem, as of now:
Previous weapon: Q
Next Weapon: E

As for 4 weapon slot people, I don't know what to tell ya. =/

@Matoro

That would be the entire point. Switch to next or previous is already bindable so the suggestion would make no sense. It about having access to all the weapons all the time. Sure being able to actually bind weapons to slots has a benefit for 3 and 2 weapons as they can hit that button and if they already have it equiped it won't change, but the real benefit is for 4 weapon carries who have to wait for 2 weapon switch animations to switch from 1to3 or 2to4. It's annoying for me two have to put such a pause when I'm fighting gremlins and wolvers to go from my faust to my flourish (I use 3 swords and a gun for when I'm backing away).
