make weapon set switch key work on inventory screen

it is a very minor annoyance that the weapon switch key stops working when you are on the inventory screen

please consider fixing that so the interface is more consistent

The problem is that letters are already bound to each items on that screen :/

A better idea would be an extra pop-up window that lets you pick which slot to equip to. So for rings and weapons, if there is more than one slot available, you'd get an extra prompt asking which slot you want to put it in, and then swap the appropriate item in only one move.

makes sense DG ty for reply

apologies if this isn't possible, I looked over the code and couldn't find where the weapon swap was implemented and the key was bound due to LUA noobness

possible solution

1. add a new key assignment for swap that isn't currently used ( backquote maybe?)
2. since this key isn't used for anything it can work both in the inventory window and the main screen

this is a really minor thing but it is irritating occasionally
