Starfield Hotkeys

Starfield Hotkeys (SFHotkeys)

Hotkey any console command or in-game Papyrus function to any key. A port of FO4 Hotkeys to Starfield.

This means that you can have a one-button press to:

  • Use consumables / equipment
  • Enter Photo Mode
  • Hide/show HUD, toggle flycam, freeze time, play animations
  • Wait anywhere
  • Toggle spacesuit visibility
  • Activate other mods

You can also create macros for your favorite console commands or for scripts provided by other mods.

After hotkeys are set up, you can use the 'hotkey' and 'macro' console commands to set and unset new hotkeys/macros.

Installation

Installation:

  • Download and unzip the mod, then open enable_hotkeys.cmd to enable hotkeys.

Uninstallation:

  • Run disable_hotkeys.cmd to disable hotkeys. You will be asked whether you want to keep your hotkey settings file.

Hotkeys Usage

Guides:

Two hotkeys are included in the installation by default so that you can make sure you've got hotkeys set up properly.

Once in-game, press F2 to toggle menu visibility, and F3 to toggle the free-fly camera.

You can add/remove hotkeys by 1) using the hotkey console command in-game, or 2) modifying the hotkeys INI file.

1) Setting hotkeys in-game

Register new hotkeys in-game with the console command 'hotkey'.

Format: hotkey <key to bind> <function to bind>

Leave <function to bind> empty to unbind a hotkey. Run 'hotkey' to list all current hotkeys.

Examples:

hotkey F2 tfc
    Toggles the freecam when you press F2.

hotkey B tm
    Toggles menu visibility when you press B.

hotkey Shift-1 tgm
    Toggles god mode when you press Shift-1.

2) Setting hotkeys by editing the Hotkeys.ini file

Hotkeys are saved in Hotkeys\Hotkeys.ini in your Starfield installation folder. Edit this file to add/modify hotkeys.

Example hotkeys:
[Hotkeys]
F2=tm
F3=tfc

If you edit the Hotkeys.ini file while the game is running and want the changes to take effect immediately, enter 'reload console' (two words) in the console to reload your hotkeys and macros from the INI file.

Macros

Macros allow you to create your own custom console commands that can run sub-commands or scripts.

Example macro:

[Macros]
pm=showmenu photomodemenu

Running 'pm' in the console will run 'showmenu photomodemenu' to open Photo Mode. The macro can also be used in hotkeys.

Multiple commands can be chained together by using the semicolon (;) as a delimiter. If-else blocks can also be used within commands.

Notes

One of the biggest draws of hotkeys is the ability to hotkey and trigger actions in other mods. It is still early days for Starfield, but once mod authors gain access to Papyrus scripting functionality, we should see many more possibilities for hotkey-able mods, such as commanding/issuing orders to companions via hotkey, or for activating certain special effects (e.g. Bullet Time).

Isn't it annoying that when you have told a companion to Wait Here, you have to walk all the way back to them to make them follow you again? It's the 24th century, don't people have radios in their space suits? Well, this mod fixes that.
