Game Mechanics Key Bindings and minor suggestion to Expert Mode

Shinari

Terrarian
First think is that in keyboard shortcuts settings miss able to change ''the next" and "the previous" things from hotbar. By default it is a scroll on the mouse and you can not change that.

Personally, I would just change the direction of the scroll, for some reason (most likely by other games) my brain operates conversely. So, add option to change shortcut for this make gameplay more enjoyable to me and maybe some other players.

Second think is to add new tab call "Hotbar Controls" who gives the possibility to change binds on hotbar from standard 1,2,3,4...9,0 to other.

Again I have my own hidden motives. Precisely I use binds starting from "`" (it's: ',1,2,3... not 1,2,3,4...). And personally I don't use binds 7,8,9,0. It's just too far for me. In my opinion it is better to change 7,8,9,0 to F1,F2,F3,F4 but now sadly I can't do that.

Third think is that Terraria need option to set two binds for one think. How it works? we have inventory set to "Esc" and with the new option we can have inventory on "Esc" and also on "V". That Example say how it work, but why someone can need that? Long needn't text underneath.

We practical two diffrent style of play. we use pad, keypad (or even steering wheel :] like a mage from World of Warcraft, check youtube) but not all the time, sometime we use normal keyboard where we have another binds, and we want to change that in the middle of the game. Now more atypical situation. We fighting with boss, hardmode boss, in confined space, with one eye closed (do not forget about our neighbours barking dog). It is possible that this is difficult, but we are awesome and will not surrender. This required from us to change weapons in combo style, so we need to change weapon "1" to weapon "8", and next to something else on "3" but this combo required to long move on keyboard. So uniquely from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 we create second bind for "3" at "9" and now we can use combo 1,8,9 instead of 1,8,<daF**>3 (why we can's set closer position for wep 8? Because we can't, on closer position we have another thinks already in use).

Annotation to third:
this can be useful also for new "Expert Mode secret project". On expert bind for "Quick Buff" could be throw away and then we need to take care of our buffs. Long buffs could stay deep in inventory and would be used before a fight, but 5 or even 3 minute buffs that we need to refresh in the middle of the fight we can (and should) place on hotbar, and use inside the battle. Also all elixirs on Expert could have shorter duration time to make game harder!

you should check your grammar... and you should have made two threads. and the expert one is basically more of the first.

i /sign, but please, be more carefull next time... some parts were really messy and hard to comprehend.
 
This is not providing much constructive content at all. You didn't even voice an opinion. Just pointing out minor grammar errors is entirely unnecessary.
Sorry. I'll add to that, I was in a hurry and didn't have time to type much earlier. I do not see any reason why the quick buff button needs to be changed. If the new challenge mode is as challenging as was already said, I don't believe we need some feature that will only cause unneeded frustration. I for one would not be very effected by what you suggest, as I don't always only have the potions I want, so it's kind of insignificant. Maybe if you could only use potions from your hotbar this would be annoying, seeing as there are sometimes more than will fit that you want to use, but even that isn't such a big bother.
