Add a keybind to swap hotbar items in 1-5 and 6-0 ranges

Post by Kerfaigar »

TL;DR
Add a keybind that allows to swap right and left sides of hotbars.
What?
Keys from 1 to 5 are easily reachable with left hand without lifting it off the home row as opposed to 6-0 keys.
We currently have the ability to cycle active hotbars ('x' by default). I was somewhat surprised to see that 'Shift+x' does not cycle them backwards, but it's a non-issue anyway (as we all know, 'Shift+r' is barely used for rotating entities anyway). A functionality that would be very useful to assign to some modifier key and 'x' though (i.e. 'Shift+x' or 'Alt+x', since 'Ctrl+x' is taken) is to swap the hotbar sides, so that the player can quickly and easily use all 10 slots with keystrokes without lifting their hand from either the mouse or the home row.
Why?
For better human-computer integration.
