Hotkey for Matter Manipulator?

    Hello, I just recently got back into experimenting on nightlies, since the new stable update should be coming soonish(tm), but one thing that irks me quite a bit is the location of the Matter Manipulator on the hotbar. I always used to put my pickaxes and drills in slot 1 so I could easily hotkey to them.

    Is there a hotkey for instantly switching to matter manipulator, or am I out of luck? I've tried looking around online and didn't find anything.

    Strangely, that doesn't seem to be the case for me, for whatever reason.

    Confirmed ^.^ Also good to know. It makes it even more convenient.

    Delete your starbound.config and let it be recreated with the default keybindings. R, T, Y access the middle bar, although I don't yet know what the other two slots are for yet.
    If you're dead-set on editing the keybindings in your existing file, then "EssentialBar1" is the action you can bind to R.

    So pirates like matter manipulators?

    Yeah, they like to manipulate their captive's loot.
    So they need a matter manipulator for that of course!

    This is an excellent point. Thoughts, anyone? What shall those other two slots be for?

    In the latest nightly build, the second slot is used for the wiring tool and the third slot is used for the paint tool. You unlock them from S.A.I.L. as you progress through the game instead of crafting them now.

    So it's
    R --> Matter Manipulator
    T --> Wiring Tool
    Y --> Paint Tool

    "R you ready to manipulate matter?", "Time to get technical.", and of course "Y not make it yellow?"; this somehow makes it easier for me to remember this.
