Hotkey Helper
Shows your mods' hotkeys in the vanilla key hint panels when they matter (building, combat, inventory, containers, fishing). Hold Alt+H to list every mod hotkey.Hotkey Helper
Mods add lots of hotkeys and you forget them. Hotkey Helper finds every hotkey in your installed mods' configs and shows the relevant ones in a small column on the right side of the screen, next to Valheim's own key hints:
| Situation | Mod hotkeys shown |
|---|---|
| Holding a hammer/hoe/cultivator | build (plus build-menu keys while the piece menu is open) |
| Holding a weapon | combat |
| Inventory open | inventory |
| Chest open | inventory + container |
| Fishing rod | fishing |
| Radial menu | radial |
Hold Left Alt + H to see a list of every mod hotkey, grouped by mod.
Client-side only. No Jötunn needed. The column follows the vanilla Key hints setting.
How it decides where a hotkey belongs
- Your override (see below)
- Built-in defaults for some popular mods
- A guess from the hotkey's name/section/description (e.g. "snap", "build" → build; "chest", "dump" → container)
Anything it can't place only appears in the Alt+H list.
Configuration
BepInEx/config/com.mous.hotkeyhelper.cfg (or in-game with ConfigurationManager):
Enabled,MaxRows,ShowAllKeyColumnPosition(while building/fighting) andInventoryColumnPosition(while inventory, chest or crafting is open) — screen fractions, 0..1ColumnFontSize,OverlayFontSize- For every discovered hotkey there is an entry under
Hotkeys - <Mod name>:auto(default) – use the guess (shown in the entry's description)hidden– never showbuild,combat– comma list of: build, buildmenu, combat, inventory, container, fishing, radial, general- add
;Labelto rename it, e.g.build;Cycle snap point
Entries appear after you load into a world once. Rebinding a mod's key updates the hints right away.
Notes
Only hotkeys a mod stores in its BepInEx config (KeyboardShortcut or KeyCode) can be found; hardcoded keys cannot.
