This wouldn't take away the need for the secondary weapon slot since that's a special case which can accommodate both a weapon and a shield, or a dual-wield change in one move, which is a good feature... Rather, I'm looking to address the situations where players may wish to hotkey a different item, such as a pair of speedy boots to make a getaway, or that handy belt of carrying for when you get overloaded... Or in other cases, if you hotkey an activable item that you're no longer wearing, it could prompt you "
You are not wearing this item. Put it on now?", then the next turn you would be able to activate it with the same key.
I would use this both for encumbrance items when I've cleared out a zone and am cleaning up the loot, and in some cases (depending on what drops the character's had), switching around rings to suit a different area. Also a Deep item for when I go swimming
What do you think of this idea, and how would you use this yourself to save some time/keys/clicks?
