Open the potion bar, hover the mouse cursor over a potion and press a function key. The same can be done to select spells.

additionally, you can then go into the 'keylist.txt', scroll all the way to the bottom where it says '#Floating icon keys:'.
you'll see a series of numbers that correspond to (for example) potions you've just assigned to function keys (example: 8137 - f8 means small health potion = f8). where the function key you've just assigned is listed, you can now change that to any unused letter (say 'h' for health = 8137 - h).
click 'file/save' and close. now hitting the 'h' key will drink a small health potion.
a couple things of note - firstly; the designated key will cause the LEAD character only to drink the potion (in this case, a small health). you'll still need to switch between characters.
secondly; you'll see your saved hotkey as a CAPITAL letter (example: 8137 - H -), but you need to type it in and save it as a lower case - h. it's converts to a capital once you've started the game.

You can also use "shift F1" and "ctrl F8" etc as your function keys. F10 doesn't work - appears disabled. Later when editing keylist.txt you can keep/change these shift/ctrl attributes.

Does anyone have a list of "codes" that go with each function ?

8137 - small health
8156 - minor stamina
8139 - minor restoration

If we all contribute it could make customising our keycodes so much easier. At present you have to add the function keys, write them down, quit the game, edit the file, each time going through that horrible cd protection delay.

As I get further (still act 1) and use more keys I'll add to the list if no one can provide a much more comprehensive list.

Cheers
Dave
