Quick menu hotkeys

Added direct keyboard shortcut to instantly open the game menu. Press I to open the inventory, J to open the journal, K to open skills, and L to open knowledge. No more holding down the ESC key and scrolling through the radial wheel menu. All hotkeys are configurable via INI files. Call game functions directly - no analog input required.

Tired of holding down the ESC key, operating the radial wheel, and releasing it to open a menu? 😫

📋 Extra panel (no default keys)

These panels have no hotkeys assigned by default. You can bind them to any key via an INI file:

• challenge

*Faction tasks

• Guide
• notify

✨ Features

• **Direct Menu Switching**: After opening one menu, you can jump directly to another without closing and reopening the radial menu.
• **Fully Configurable**: All hotkeys can be changed or disabled via INI file. Set any key to **00** to disable it.
• **Extra Panels**: Additional game menus such as Challenges, Faction Quests, Guides, and Notifications can be manually assigned.
• **Updates with ease**: Use automatic mode scanning to locate internal game functions instead of relying on hard-coded offset addresses.
• **Effective immediately**: Hotkeys are available as soon as you enter the game. The mod will automatically parse the game's PanelManager.
• **Direct internal call**: Open the panel by directly calling the game's internal panel function instead of simulating menu navigation.

`[Steam]\steamapps\common\Crimson Desert\bin64\`
