Hotbar Quickcrafting

[BlueTemplar]

You can achieve almost the same thing (arguably faster, with hotbar keyboard shortucts), using HotCraft :

Directly handcraft items from your inventory or toolbelt by hotkey, without even browsing the recipes list: just grab a stack in your hand and use ALT-1, ALT-2 or ALT-3 to queue 1,5 or 10 more items for handcrafting.

TL;DR/What

It should be possible to quickly craft items on the toolbar, including by pack of 5.

Why ?

I don't know for PC players, but on switch things quickly get clunky:

- Go to shortcut menu to quickly check how much of an item you have
- Go to inventory menu, navigate to the right tab then to the right item and craft
- Now go back to the shortcut menu again to select it

We can't point and click, so navigating through all these menus is tedious. It would be much more pleasant to just go to the shortcut panel, that conveniently shows how much items are left, and craft them when needed with ZR+A, or pack of five with ZR+Y.

Just to be clear, this isn't a switch-only suggestion. The same feature would probably be appreciated by PC-players. But I think it would be a life changer on Switch.
