Without Further-ado I present to you, the shortcut bar changes! In Pirate King Online we know at moment of battle or grinding sometime it can be important that you do not miss casting a skill or consuming items, as the game evolved from few actions to comprehensive actions, shortcut was in due for upgrades!
Few important tip-lines:
In the future we will be looking into if it's possible to place equipments onto the shortcut bar to doubleclick and have it swap your equipment (with small short cooldown) as well, and we're anxious to hear your feedback, should there is any problems please feel free to write about it in this topic,

Without Further-ado I present to you, the shortcut bar changes! In Pirate King Online we know at moment of battle or grinding sometime it can be important that you do not miss casting a skill or consuming items, as the game evolved from few actions to comprehensive actions, shortcut was in due for upgrades!
Few important tip-lines:
- It is now possible to have up to three shortcut bars, default is one shortcut bar.
- In 1024x768, the shortcut bar will extend to 12 slots, and in 800x600 the shortcut will be eight slots.
- Upon clicking the arrow button at end of the shortcut bar will spawn second, and even third shortcut bar that is placed on top of first bar.
- By default, the second and third shortcut bar is only mouse-clickable (no keyboard binds) HOWEVER
- Upon adding a special parameter (User\system.ini) a value called "hotBarMode=0" can be turned into "hotBarMode=1" where the shortcut bar will bind into 0-9 keys
- If hotbarmode is enabled, naturally, you cannot type into chat box without inferring the hotkeys, so we have placed the "enter-to-chat" to able to chat as well use the normal keys for shortcut bar itself.
- The third shortcut bar will never have keybinds and should be used for very-rarely used and limited to mouse-click activation.
- The hotBarMode will be later a game option available inside the client settings, but for time being it will be hard-mod to activate, we have few more things to finish before we can add it into game settings.
In the future we will be looking into if it's possible to place equipments onto the shortcut bar to doubleclick and have it swap your equipment (with small short cooldown) as well, and we're anxious to hear your feedback, should there is any problems please feel free to write about it in this topic,
