Quick Keys Walkthrough

Quick Keys combines several quality-of-life actions under Core's keybind system.

Actions

  • Auto Torch finds a torch in inventory, checks Terraria placement rules near the cursor, places it, and sends tile and inventory synchronization in multiplayer.
  • Auto Recall selects the best available Recall Potion, mirror, Cell Phone, or active Shellphone destination and uses Terraria's normal recall path.
  • Quick Stack sends eligible inventory items to nearby chests.
  • Ruler maintains Terraria's ruler-line flag while enabled.
  • Extended Hotbar temporarily selects slots 11-20, activates the item once, releases held-use state, and returns to the original hotbar slot.

Input ownership

Each action is registered with ModContext.RegisterKeybind. Core handles rebinding and persistence. Extended-hotbar use records the original slot and always restores it after the one-shot action, including cancellation and world transitions.

Configuration

The F6 Mod Menu controls the master toggle, chat messages, extended hotbar, and diagnostic logging. Extended hotbar is off by default.

Multiplayer

Quick Keys is client-only. Auto Torch emits Terraria's normal tile and inventory packets; the other shortcuts use the local player's standard game actions.
