SKYRIM: How to Hotkey items

[Ollie3496]

Guys Just Press Up On The D-pad -.-

[hardlinemonk]

Why is it I use the arrow keys to highlight things and then after I highlight them in the favorites section and press 1-7 it won't assign a thing?? This is frustrating...

Reply pls!

On Xbox360, PS3, and on the PC using an Xbox360 controller, to assign an object to either the left or right dpad hotkey. First enter the main inventory and make the object a favourite. Then return to the game, open the favourite menu, and with the object highlighted, press and hold the left or right dpad hotkey until a small 1 or 2 appears next to the selected item.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[CampfiresAndTents]

When I press f, nothing happens, and it doesn't get favourited, anyone got any idea on how to fix this?

[superrizky111]

how to delete the hotkeys???

[AjayVerma425]

Thanks !

[tuGabee]

not for xbox but for ps3?

[xSumonax]

Really sucks you can't do this on Xbox, you'd think you could be able to hold down something like Up D-Pad and then be able to use X, Y, B or A for presets.

[gameplayer30023]

not everyone has a pc!

[ewdennis]

skyrim isnt a port

[mattditrolio]

Thank you very much - I have no idea why they never explained this.

[Chubzdoomer]

When you need a video tutorial to know how to hotkey items, you know they completely fucked up both the interface and controls.

[Platinum1812]

Wow, thank you!!

[Hairgod1234]

Thanks for this. You Rock, seriously.

[ElderScrollsFTWFTW]

Which skill or item should I hotkey, I already hotkeyed Healing spell, so which skill/item should it be?

[jetfoxproductions]

man hotkeying is that simple, wish i would have known that a long time ago, going back into favs menu is a pain when your getting the crap kicked out of you by trolls, dauger, dragons... etc

i have died countless times because i didn't know you could hotkey anything.

[goofparade]

@1tiel. Far as know you can't. I wish I could have twin fireballs on 1, twin frost in 2 etc.. But no luck .

[samirdubois]

ty u dude saved me a lot of time :)

[videomaster411]

Thanks!



[EdgeHeadTubeV2]

Thank you.

[CrookyJr]

thanks, really helps man. I was left confused by the manual which said keys 1 through 8 do hotkeys but no mention of them ingame :P

[Trolldag]

thanks man!

[Shitpickable]

thanks! :D

[LAdumpsterbaby]

Hotkeying on 360 is shit. Oblivions mini spell menu was waaay better. For instance, you apply spells to the left and right triggers...open fav menu and apply the 1 and 2 to different spells. Now, you can switch to the 1 and 2 spells without issue, but you cant switch back to the original L T and RT spells without opening the menu and re-applying them....its absolute shit and a game breaking mechanic imo.

[Arsen1c1001]

holy shit, i beat the story line and im on side quest at level 42 and i never knew how to hotkey like that LOL thanks

[ImRealityyy]

How do you hot key on Xbox? Man, I wish I got it for PC but mine is a piece of shit and cant even run Minecraft on tiny. Im gonna go to school, can I please get a response back.

[CryPlayable]

@ImRealityyy You cant hotkey on 360

[ImRealityyy]

@CryPlayable :/ Damn. I thought cause you were able to Hotkey in the Fallouts that you would be able in this game. I should have gotten it for PC

[Rapture895]

@CryPlayable @ImRealityyy You can hotkey by pressing up to access your favorites and then go to your item and hold either the left or right button. You can have 2

[Kayeffchi]

@CryPlayable you can.

[yellowlg21]

@CryPlayable On Xbox360 and PS3, to assign an object to either the left or right dpad hotkey. First enter the main inventory and make the object a favourite. Then return to the game, open the favourite menu, and with the object highlighted, click and hold the left or right dpad hotkey.

[carlnardo]

@CryPlayable actually you can press left or right on the d pad while in the favourites menu

[NickDufe]

@CryPlayable yuou can hotkey but only 2

[Baseshocks]

@NickDufe thats garbage, its complete ass considering how many hotkeys we got in Oblivion........... I would rather have 8 hotkeys as in Oblivion then that quick menu in skyrim. I hate stopping play to change weapons, the 2 hotkey is garbage, i cant use bow, sword, shield and a few spells in combat without stopping it for the quick menu...... what were they thinking.

[NickDufe]

@Baseshocks I completely agree. I think that favorite menu is complete bullshit.

[TheNagcg333]

@CryPlayable just say great vid but you can hotkey on 360. just got to favourites and hold the left bumper or the right bumper i think.

[skoowy]

@ImRealityyy You can hotkey on xbox I think because you can on ps3... Just do the arrows when over a item on ps3

[Venezu3la99]

@ImRealityyy yeah @CryPlayable is wrong. go to your favorites and hold either left or right on the D pad while highlighting what you want and it will hotkey. you can only hotkey 2 things at once though

[CRAnoobCRA]

@ImRealityyy you can, but only 2 i think, when in favorites manu just hold left or right on d-pad and it will bind it to those. but again..only 2

[sleeptofu]

@ImRealityyy Press and keep the left or righ button while selecting the item/spell. You can have only 2 hotkeys.

[1tiel]

how do you hotkey dual weapons though. like if i hotkey a mace at 1 and a sword at 2 and press 1 then 2, i just equip my mace and then my mace is replaced by sword. i want my mace to be in one hand and my sword to be in the other when i press the corresponding hotkey. so is there a way to hotkey a number to a specific hand as in hotkey 1 to left hand and hotkey 2 to right hand, would really appreciate an answer. i've been looking everywhere for one. practically the same problem as "IcoKirov"

[BenDavidson29]

thank you soo much :) saved me like hours of time 

[IcoKirov]

scenario:

using dual wielding axe/sword. want to switch to spell in the left had. so my axe is let say 1, sword is 2, the spell is 3. so im using axe/sword. press 3 then the left hand switch from sword to the spell. now i use axe/spell. if i want to return to axe/sword i should press 2, right? but when i press it, the sword switches with the axe, not the spell, so i start using sword/spell... how can i hotkey the item to go to the left hand always?

[GeertdvNL]

Thanks braw, it's very annoying switching weapons without this

[AhKillYu]

thankyouuuuu

cant believe i was going through the item and spell select all the time to switch

-_-

[zilot]

thanks dude :P

[mrkittycontrollers]

thanks for sharing 

[poiuytroop]

Sweet!

[Marchusv]

Was literally just saying to myself, Why can't I hotkey in this one? Thanks a lot.

[Michaelmop]

Haha can't believe i didn't figure that out myself, cheers mate.

[Soulsemmer]

Awesome. Thanks for this, I oddly never thought to try doing that. I kept trying to do it from the items menu.

[andrefaes]

Wow, I would never have known this, thanks

[DesiChandler]

Well, would you look at that.



[CryPlayable]

@FUCKINGGAYSYSTEM The numbers correlate to the numbers on the keyboard. L = left hand R = right hand

[WEIRDNGEEKY]

@FUCKINGGAYSYSTEM I believe L stands for Left hand, and R for Right hand. LR will then be both hands.. might be wrong, tho.
