Enhance Your tModLoader Experience with Helpful Hotkeys

Tired of fumbling through menus and hotbars in tModLoader? The Helpful Hotkeys mod is here to streamline your gameplay, offering a suite of powerful, customizable shortcuts that put essential actions at your fingertips. Developed to maximize efficiency, this mod allows you to focus more on exploration, combat, and building, and less on tedious inventory management.

Key Features for a Smoother Adventure

Helpful Hotkeys introduces a variety of intuitive controls that can be easily reconfigured to your preference within the game’s Mod Controls settings. Discover how these additions can revolutionize your tModLoader sessions:

• Cycle Ammo: Effortlessly switch between different ammo types with a single key press. Enable Auto Cycle Ammo Mode to automatically change ammo when your current type is depleted, ensuring you’re always prepared.
• Auto Torch: Illuminate your surroundings instantly. This feature automatically places a torch from your inventory in the nearest suitable location to your cursor, perfect for rapid exploration of dark caverns.
• Auto Recall: Say goodbye to dedicating hotbar slots to recall items. Auto Recall seamlessly uses Magic Mirrors, Cellphones, or Recall Potions directly from your inventory.
• Quick Stack to Chests: Organize your storage with unparalleled speed. A simple hotkey will send your inventory items to nearby chests, or a specific chest if you’re interacting with one.
• Smart Quick Stack to Chests: Take organization a step further. This intelligent variant sorts items based on existing contents in your chests, ensuring duplicates and similar items are stored logically.
• Quick Buff Favorited Only: Apply buffs more strategically. This modded Quick Buff function only activates your favorited potions (marked with Alt-click), preventing accidental use of exploration or utility buffs during critical moments.
• Query Mod Origin: Easily identify the source of any item, NPC, buff, tile, or wall by simply hovering over it.
• Toggle Autopause & Run in Background: Gain finer control over game state, allowing for seamless transitions and continued gameplay even when tModLoader isn’t the active window.
• Quick Use Item #20 & Configurable Item: Assign specific, high-priority items to dedicated hotkeys for immediate access, ideal for powerful tools or potent consumables.
• Armor/Vanity Swapping, Hotbar Swapping, and Mount Cycling: Prepare for any situation with quick-swapping capabilities for your gear, loadouts, and mounts.
• Frame Skip & Dash Controls: Fine-tune visual performance and introduce hotkey-based dashing for a more responsive control scheme.

By integrating Helpful Hotkeys into your tModLoader setup, you unlock a more fluid and responsive gameplay experience. Spend less time managing your inventory and more time enjoying the vast world of tModLoader.
