Valheim HotKeys

A Valheim mod to add configurable hotkeys for various actions.

Features

• Toggle HUD: Quickly hide/show the in-game HUD (default F3).
• Repair Hammer: One press equips your hammer with repair already selected (unbound by default). Press again while repairing to put the hammer away. It looks for any tool with a repair option rather than the vanilla hammer by name, so it should also work with modded hammers or tools that have one (untested; tools without a repair option are ignored).
• Custom Item Bindings:
  • Bind hotkeys to items by name (e.g., "Healing Mead", "Arrow"). This can be either the localized name or the internal item ID.
  • Partial Matching: "Arrow" will match "Fire Arrow", "Wood Arrow", etc.
  • Item Cycling: Press the hotkey multiple times to cycle through all items in your inventory that match the search name.
  • Bindings fire while you are moving, so you can drink or swap ammo on the run.

Manual Installation

1. Install BepInExPack Valheim.

3. Extract the ValheimHotKeys.dll file into your <Valheim Install Folder>\BepInEx\plugins directory.

Compatibility: tested with Valheim 1.0.

Configuration

The com.malafein.valheimhotkeys.cfg file will be generated in your BepInEx/config folder after the first run.
There you can set the HUD toggle key, the repair hammer key, and the eight custom item bindings.

Recommendation: Use a configuration manager like shudnal's Configuration Manager to easily edit bindings and settings in-game.

Mouse buttons may be bound, but only Mouse0 through Mouse4, the buttons Valheim's input system supports.

To put hotbar slots on other keys, use Valheim's own Controls menu, which now has a rebindable alternate key for each of Hotbar 1-8.
